Great suggestions to be used on my next light. I have received advice from a long time tuner to try an old Craftsman model 2302 unit so I ordered one on Ebay - it is on the way. Stay tuned for results.

I am trying to confirm my static timing on my 1976 RD400 Clough stage II with Vap and a Zeeltronic but can't get my timing light to come on. It is a newer Innova 5568 and everything I have tried won't allow this unit to pick up the coil wire spark on this CDI type system. I run resistor type B8's and standard coil wires that I can't believe are that insulated.

This newer type unit must not be compatible with a CDI type ignition. Please post what timing light brand/model you have successfully used on the Vape system so I can go and buy one. Going nuts in Colorado!

Anyone have a timing light that works on our RD coil wires that still might be available for sale?

I decided it was time to check my Vape timing static angle on my 1976 RD400 (stage 2 Scott Clough motor with Zeel unit/curves, pipes etc). My new timing light is a Innova 5568 (used to borrow one years ago) and it refuses to pick up my RPMs. I have what I believe are 2010 - 2015 era Vape wires and run resistor plugs. Can these coil to plug wires be so insulated they can't be picked up?

Also, if someone has an RD400 curve for a modded bike they have tested and like, please share it. I am getting a little knock at above 7500K due to 4500ft altitude and 91 octane gas here in Colorado so I will need to reduce my advance a bit.
