No good deed goes unpunished...
At some point I lent my trusty, old timing light (dial back style) to someone. No idea who and no one so far has offered to return it. So, I need a new one. Couple of problems though. * Most new(er) dial back and (all) digital lights reportedly don't work with a multi-spark CDI ignition system. * Assuming I need to now buy a "simple" (non-advance) light. How the hell do I know what my timing is set at? Certainly I can hit the 27 BTDC mark and goof around from there, but I'd really like to know EXACTLY what my timing is set at! What do others with an MSD or Mallory use? If using a "simple" light, how do you hit, say 28-30 BTDC? -Aaron |

My 2cents. Since I only use it every couple years. The HF light with dial adjustable works for me.
