Timing Electronic Ignition?

(1/6) > >>

PennoK3:
Morning All.   Sanity check please I am trying to time a David Silver Electronic Ignition on my CB550 but struggling.   Following the instructions and mounting the ignition fully clockwise, then setting the F1.4 mark.  Next instruction is "rotate the plate anti clockwise until the LED lights" but it is already lit in the fully clockwise position so there is nowhere to go.

K2-K6:
If you remove the plate from bike is it still lighting the LED ?

In other words, with it remote from any triggering input, does it stay lit ?

PennoK3:
No.   If I take it off it goes out.

K2-K6:
OK,  so the unit is sensitive to triggering as it should be, that's good.

With it installed, if you rotate the crankshaft, does it then change the LED status  ? and if it does, where on the timing marks is it changing  ?

Sounds like something simple could be out of place to trigger at wrong point, doesn't sound much but just need to find it.

PennoK3:
It goes out in line with the 2.3 timing mark.
