Timing Light

<< < (2/3) > >>

paulbaker1954:
I use the Draper one, would recommend it and not very expensive from memory

Laverda Dave:
I second (or should that be third!) the Draper. Just don't drop it onto concrete as I did, the shock kills the timing lamp!

Erny:
I need to buy new timing light with tacho display (one I have does not work on higher rpms than 1500...)

Would you recommend some that is proven as working and reliable?

Or alternatively strobo only w/o tacho and then I need good separate tacho reader (digital)

Lobo:
... try your smartphone for a tacho app... I’ve got one called ‘Strobelight’ (is a pic of a fan)

pewe:
If you have a spare battery, connect the strobe lamp to it instead of connecting to the bikes battery under seat making cables tensed. Seat can fall down and cause problems when checking F @ idle as well as when full advance kick in.

I use a cheap strobe lamp from eBay. Orange colored plastic.

An auto multimeter with dwell function an easy way to make both points gap equal at high idle and make the engine to run really smooth and even with minimum of rattle.
