BOTH ITEMS GONE - Old BEAR Engine Analyser & Gas Analyser - Gone #

Posted by Sean Connelly on May 24, 2011, 10:18 am

Hi,

We have the following items that are surplus to requirements and are available "free" to whoever wants them. * All we ask is a suitable donation to a charity of our choice for whatever you think they are worth to you.

First up is an old Bear BACE engine analyser. We inherited this a long time ago and have never really used it. Its your typical old school big box analyser which will be fine on old style ignition systems but not very good on newer wasted spark or coil on plug systems. It also includes a exhaust gas analyser and printer but have never used the last two items so can't really say whether they work. The gas analyser will probably need calibrating. We've not powered this up for a long time, but see no reason why it shouldn't be ok.

Next up is a Bear MOT Gas Analyser (both petrol and diesel). We were using this regularly until mid last year when the spec for diesel smoke meters changed and that part of it was no longer approved for MOT testing.

As we haven't used it for such a while it will need calibrating before it can be used or alternatively seeing if its possible to disable the MOT annual calibration lockout. We can get probably get this calibrated for you at cost but virtually any company should be able to do this for you.

It includes a 486 DOS based PC and dot matrix printer.

Diesel smokemeter attachment for the above analyser.

If you're interested in either unit then let me know with an indication on where you are located and when you can collect (the sooner the better).

You will need a big van or trailer to transport these units.

We are located in Macclesfield, Cheshire.

Regards

Sean

P.S. They have been dusted down since these pics were taken ;-)

Free*: Old BEAR Engine Analyser & Gas Analyser - UPDATE

Just wanted to say I quickly powered the Engine Analyser up last night and noticed that in the menu system it does support Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS) such as used on Ford & GM, i.e. Wasted Spark. It also has all the usual functions such as relative compression, charging system analysis, primary, secondary displays, etc.

It did complain that the gas analyser wasn't fitted so not sure what is up there. There are a couple of batteries that may need replacing that probably provide back up to the settings. It could probably do with two new voltage probes (DMM) but I think the majority of the scope functions will work fine.

HTH

Further update....our local calibrations guy can calibrate the gas analyser for £85 and also remove the MOT regular calibration requirement from the software so the unit will continue to work regardless of calibration status.

Neil,

The Gas Analyser & Smokemeter has just sold on eBay but the Bear Engine Analyser is still available if you're interested then let me know as I'm about to list that on eBay.
