Im in the market for a timing strobe with the adjustable advance. Has anyone got any recommendations? I don't need anything too flash *happy* as it will only be used once in a blue moon.

Cheers
Matt

Carefull which one you buy if you intend to use it on wasted spark, as the advance feature will not work properly

I've got a gunson one, works well. Backed up what the megajolt was showing.

If I could Dave that would be handy. I just need to check my ecu against the actual timing. I machined my pulley 5 degrees out but need to doubley make sure.

Andy are you using yours with wasted spark and using the advance feature?

Our CPS is 4 degrees out, so we use the 'advance' knob on the end to check what we are getting matches what's configured in the MJ SW.

We are using MJ V3 with EDIS and coil pack so I'm assuming yes to wasted spark. Feel free to correct me as I'm usually wrong...

This is similar to the one I have:

I bought it used, but nearly new for a very small fraction of that price. Seems to work really well.

Matty, set the crank advance to zero, hook up a normal timing light, disconnect the injectors and fuel pump, then crank the engine over. Using the timing light to see how far out the TDC point is, adjust the 'Trigger before TDC' value in the primary trigger settings to tune it in.

That Colin sounds like a very good plan, but is the cranking RPM going to be high enough to get a good reading?
