I hope I'm not being stupid here, but I sucked hard and nothing happened.
How far should the spring travel?  If I pull or push on the arm by hand then
almost imperceptible movement occurs.  Is this a problem vacuum unit?
Also, What do you mean when you say that it could be mechanical?  Shouldn't
vacuum advance be sensitive to a pressure differential?  I hope I haven't
missed something fundamental here, I'm pretty new to this stuff.
