timing strobe problems

[smallcox]

Hi,

I have a waste spark coil fitted and i've connected a Gunson's strobe light to check timing and it's well out.

Has anybody tryed this on there ignition with a waste spark coil, I can turn the dial on the gun to time the idle but it is showing 40 degrees when I know it's 10 ish

I used a timing strobe on my BIS, and it works just fine..

I looked up a Gunson manual and found that if used on 2 stroke or waste spark ignition you have to change the settings on the strobe gun. My strobe light does not have this setting

I have a snap on timing light and when the engine is running well it indicates the mark at approx 3 past the hour rather than 10-12 past.

my snap on one is very similar at about 3 past... might have to do some strobing at Retro Rides
