Hi all - I have a small marine repair shop and once again I have an old 70s 2 stroke kicking my rear end.. Im considering buying a handheld oscilloscope to help id and narrow down faulty wires - its common for the insulation to break up and allow cross arcing which is what im thinking is happening on this one..
Would a 40hmz handheld be enough as a starter scope just to start messing around with and hopefully expose weak/bad wiring? Im not trying to probe space equipment here, more like tractor engine mechanics if i could put it bluntly.
Also - the stators can put out around 300v AC easy, maybe a touch over so i guess id prob need stht hat can manage 350-400v AC , and lastly not sure what a " non-ground referenced (differential) scope " means, but is that something to look into?
Thanks
