Chapter 2 The old liberation of the flameout

For the old liberation, it is a common thing to fail to catch fire.

Old Jiefang still uses the old platinum ignition, the old Dongfeng 140, and the old Beijing 212 Jeep, all use platinum ignition.

For the driver, the platinum ignition method is very technical, and the platinum gap needs to be adjusted manually, but if the error is too large, it cannot be started.

If it is the current driver, even if he is given an old Jiefang, he will not be able to drive, or even start.

However, there is no shortage of old drivers with first-class technical experience in the transportation company. Starting an old Jiefang is as easy as eating and drinking. They have some methods to start an old Jiefang.

Moreover, the drivers of that era knew some car repair techniques to some extent. If it was just a general minor problem, there was no need to bring the car to the auto repair workshop, and the old drivers could solve it by themselves.

Obviously, this old Jiefang was dragged to the repair workshop, but it encountered a problem that even the old driver could not solve.

The repairman Xiao Zhao walked to the old liberation car. Master Cai hesitated for a while, but still handed a pack of cigarettes.

Master Cai saw that Xiao Zhao was young and didn't want to pass the cigarette, but after thinking about it, even if Xiao Zhao was not good, he still had to rely on Xiao Zhao's master, so he would not be stingy with this cigarette.

Xiao Zhao pretended to hold the cigarette to his ear, and then opened the hood.

What's the name of Master Xiao Zhao? Master Cai casually asked.

My name is Zhao Hu, just call me Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao seemed to be worried that Master Cai would look down on him, and then said, My father is Zhao Youtian from the logistics department.

Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Youtian's son. Master Cai's eyes became much kinder.

In the early 1980s, the employees of state-owned enterprises had higher eyes than the top, and even if they were in the same unit, they could be divided into three, six and nine.

Among the state-owned enterprises, they are all workers. The children of the unit who were born and raised in the unit and the secondary school students assigned from outside are completely two levels. The children of the unit naturally have to be treated more. When you mention who you are the son of, you will be surrounded by uncles and uncles.

As for the assigned workers, if the urban hukou is good, those secondary school students from rural areas are assigned to state-owned enterprises.

Zhao Hu's son of Zhao Youtian seems to be saying, I am biological, you have to be nice to me.

While inspecting the car, Zhao Hu asked, Master Cai, has your car often failed to catch fire recently?

Yes, yes, but my car was produced in 1975. It is a common occurrence that it fails to catch fire. I fiddled with it myself, and it was repaired. Master Cai replied.

The new apprentices may not understand the meaning of Master Cai's words, but Li Weidong does.

From the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, for ten years, FAW was only able to maintain production reluctantly. During that period, the quality of the output was the worst, and many minor faults were normal.

Later, after the second-generation Jiefang was launched, the trucks imported from Eastern Europe in the 1960s continued to be used, but the old Jiefang produced in the 1970s was the first to be eliminated.

Zhao Hu went on to ask, Master Cai, has your car turned off frequently recently?

It is often turned off, but it's an old problem with this car. Master Cai said.

Zhao Hu removed a few screws and waved to an apprentice: Help me hold this valve, I'll go up and start it.

The apprentice held the valve, Zhao Hu got into the car and started.

The sound of the engine starting sounded, and through the disassembled valve, some firelight could be vaguely seen, but the engine could not start.

Zhao Hu jumped out of the cab, came to the engine again, checked it again, and then said, This is because the carburetor is broken, and a new carburetor needs to be replaced.

Master Cai, wait a moment, I'll change the carburetor for you now.

Today's drivers are relatively unfamiliar with the carburetor. Because as early as the late 1990s, the country banned the production of carburetor-type cars, and in 2001, carburetor-type cars were even stopped. In the 1980s, almost all cars used carburetors.

Zhao Hu began to replace the carburetor, and the apprentices gathered around, learning while fighting.

With the help of a few apprentices, Zhao Hu quickly replaced the carburetor.

Zhao Hu climbed into the cab and started the ignition. With a burst of black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, the car started successfully.

Okay, Master Cai, the car is fixed for you! Zhao Hu jumped out of the car and said triumphantly.

Okay, Xiao Zhao, your craftsmanship is good. Master Cai said, handing another cigarette.

Hands are dirty. Zhao Hu didn't take the cigarette, but Master Cai directly stuffed the cigarette into Zhao Hu's chest pocket.

Old-fashioned blue workwear, two pockets on the chest and two pockets on the waist, but it can hold a lot of things.

At this moment, a sigh sounded, which was particularly noticeable.

Everyone followed the voice and saw Li Weidong there, sighing and shaking their heads.

This young man, what a sigh at such a young age! Master Cai asked with a smile.

Seeing that Li Weidong was only fifteen or sixteen years old, Master Cai knew that he must be the child of the transportation company, and his attitude was also very friendly. Because the assigned secondary school students or veterans are not so young.

Li Weidong raised his head, looked at the old Jiefang that had just been repaired, and then looked at Master Cai, and then said, Master Cai, if the engine stalls on the way for a while, then drive the car back and find an old man. Master, let me take a look again.

Turn off the fire halfway? Master Cai didn't quite understand what Li Weidong meant, and then looked at Zhao Hu with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Hu next to him heard it. Li Weidong meant that the car was not repaired at all.

Li Weidong, what do you mean? Zhao Hu asked with a bad look on his face.

Li Weidong had no choice but to explain: Brother Zhao, it's not just because of the carburetor that this car can't catch fire.

Isn't the problem with the carburetor? Zhao Hu curled his lips in disdain, picked up the carburetor that had just been replaced, and said, See for yourself, what's going on inside this carburetor! Not yet! Carburetor problem.

As Zhao Hu said, the inside of the carburetor is dark and sticky, and some solidified impurities can be seen carefully. According to this situation, there must be serious wear and tear inside.

At this time, an old auto mechanic in his 40s just happened to pass by, and he didn't ask the reason. He just looked at the dismantled carburetor and said, The carburetor is like this, it can't be done any more. used.

The old auto mechanic's words seemed to be the final word, Zhao Hu's waist straightened a lot in an instant.

I said Li Weidong, you walk around in the workshop every day, do you know how to repair a car? I'm afraid you can't even tell the difference between the brake and the clutch! If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense, stay where it's cool! Zhao Hu said. said.

Next to him, several apprentices also looked at Li Weidong with disdain, but these apprentices were temporary workers, and Li Weidong was formal, so these apprentices did not dare to speak rudely to Li Weidong.

If it was the young and vigorous Li Weidong, he would definitely argue with Zhao Hu at this time, but after the rebirth, Li Weidong has long lost the competitive spirit of young people. Facing Zhao Hu's pointing, he just smiled helplessly. Laughing, then turned to leave.

Zhao Hu said to Master Cai: Master Cai, he is a jerk in our workshop, he doesn't understand anything, don't listen to his nonsense, I have already repaired this car, you can drive it on the road now, there is absolutely no problem!
