DIY: Homemade timing tool

[paul1478]

I saw that Mark. 200 for what I hope is just verifying. I will try and use the one I ordered.
I will set it the piston at 1.9 MM before TDC, mark the rotor as noted above by Chuck, use a pointer attached to the case and verify with the light.

Also,
good news about the timing light. I saw mixed ideas on what can be uses, some said needs to be 2 stroke. maybe that is only for showing RMPs and that will not matter on this.

I don't have this exact one but mine is similar.

regarding the light, yes, pretty much its rpm readout is the difference. its nice to be able to offset the degrees on it though, for use with a programmable curve.. or on a distorbutor with advance system (car).
