12V Ignition Timing Light Strobe Lamp Car Motorcycle Marine

Featuring a tough ABS plastic body to withstand the knocks and punishment in your garage or workshop this Timing Light has been designed for fast and accurate ignition timing readings to get your vehicle running smoothly in no time. Compatible for all 12 Volt DC petrol systems this timing light features a status light confirming correct connection to the vehicle and the Xenon stroboscope provides clear illumination and visibility of engine timing marks.

Using a timing light is relatively straightforward and will quickly highlight a few basic signs of your engine tuning.

Firstly, connect the clamps to the positive and negative sides of the battery and then attach the signal wire to the number one spark plug wire. Then with the engine running, direct the timing light at the crankshaft pulley at the lower front of the engine. Pulling the trigger on the timing light will provide a strobe effect that will indicate on the pulley whether the number one cylinder is firing before or after TDC (top dead Centre). There are degree marks on the pulley that signify where this specifically is.

This diagnosis will then allow you to determine whether your engine is firing too early before the piston is at the top of the cylinder or too late after the piston is on the downward stroke. As is the case with varying engines and ignition timings it pays to be familiar with your vehicles optimum timing specifications and work to those as recommended by the manufacturer.
