I bought one of these lights and found it a bit rubbish with the timing 'scattering'. Glad it's not just mine

Thanks for that - I was going to buy one. I'll save the money for something else.

Thanks so very much for sharing this with us all. It’s an over priced low quality item that I will now totally avoid. Your video has saved me a lot of precious time and money. Thank you so much! 🌠🌌🌅👍🏻

I had one for many years, and it never really seemed to work very well. Not sure if it’s me or the tool !

During the build of my 1310, I picked up an SP8000 ready for doing the timing. I used it for the first time a few weeks ago and I too found the same issues as you have. For measuring RPM, sometimes it would be steady as a rock, and at other times it would jump all over the place. I found that I had to disconnect it from the car and reconnect it, this would often result in steadying the readings. I used the coil + and coolant take off nut for -ve. I also seem to recall that the plastic clip needs to be as close to the suppressor cap as possible. I am using a 65D dizzy and viper 1.5 Ohm Viper coil. I wonder if the timing light works better with different dizzys? Could you test it using a better cable setup (you mentioned the connector was the same as the Innova?).

No point in testing it, it should work. If it does not work it’s not really doing what it should

@@ACDodd I wondered if it was the lower quality cables that were the problem, hence maybe swapping them with the Inova?

@@Sternhammer89 I would have to work out the polarity and check the pin orientation so not going to bother with that. At the end of the day, their are better lights.

still a handy tool to own. Just maybe thats not the one to be buying.

If you only ever want to set the base timing it works

I've taken mine to the tip last month. Intermittent strobing that's if it worked at all. Bought a Snap on one and now much happier. Would never buy this item again sorry.
