Jonas, I know a couple youngsters who are the exception to the rule. They don't need a laptop or a NAPA catalogue to troubleshoot a problem. To be fair , I know quite a few men my own age who troubleshoot by changing parts. I think it has more to do with the individual than the generation.
I guess you learn to work with the tools at hand while you're growing up. I try to nurture the motorhead spirit wherever I find it. They can't learn it if we don't teach it. RDT
