Setting Ignition Timing With a Strobe Light

(1/3) > >>

Lynx:
Hi guys,

Today's question is when using a strobe light, what revs and timing marks should I use.

Regards
Steve

Lobo:
From a 400F maintenance manual.
Hope it helps,
Simon

Bryanj:
A strobe IS ONLY USED for checking the advance mechanism NOT for setting the timing

Piki:
STROBE is good for  checking the advance and for "FIRE TIME" adjust, you can do both, "Timming and Advance".
Best Regards.

Lynx:
Thanks for the instructions.
I always though setting with a strobe was MORE accurate than setting static as it is more real world, setting on a running engine. You can see when the spark plug actually gets the signal.
