I'm getting a hour-glass.

Much better than a regular timer when you're doing the "Pomodoro" method and have to get something done. But I also have a nice lava-lamp, which is great when you're listening to music. And a record-player for vinyl CDs. And fidget toys for my ADHD and Autism (to stim while I'm doing something).

I'll be honest: I need eitiher:

Portability

Analog

If I can't carry it or if it's not mechanical, the i don't care.

ask him what he thinks about metering rod carburetors and then pretend to listen, he'll love it

or write down what he thinks and let me know i kind of want to try one

Well, now I know a new thing! ๐Ÿ˜‚

He hasn't played with one in a long time because they're not used in small engine applications, but he likes them. He wants to know what kind of vehicle you're wanting to try one on?

Either a 660cc thumper or a 1200cc v-twin, but they both have pumpers that seem to work great at one elevation so it's not like I'm trying to solve a problem with a metering rod. They just seem neat
