![]() I inform these individuals that this is a procedure that only licensed AP mechanics can legally perform. Often, I get inquiries from non-licensed mechanics who want to be walked through the entire timing procedure. Sometimes they have a bad magneto and they need to try it on a second magneto Then by rotating the Magneto's shaft they can expect to get the appropriate light and sound signals from the timing device. They should clip the black ground wire to the magneto's casing and attaching either the red or green wire lead to the Magneto's "P" terminal. It's safest and best to do this on a bench with the magneto removed from the engine. With the single mag timer -only the LED labeled "Closed" should light up when the device is switched to "ON".Ģ) I ask them to attach the device to a working magneto. If no light goes on I ask that they replace the 9 volt battery and try again. If only one light goes on - there is a defect and the device should be returned to me. When I get an inquiry from someone who is having difficulty using the device, I do the following-ġ) For Dual Synchronizers - I ask if both LED lights go on when the device switch is slid to the on position. This again is an erroneous assumption on their part - based on their experience using a different make of Timer. They sometimes think that they should get a sound indication by touching the ground lead (alligator clip) to the red or green lead. First time users sometimes do not read the instructions and erroneously assume that this timer will do the same thing as a different brand of timer. Per the manufacturer: The dual and single mag timers have operating instructions included with each timer. WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - Q: Do you have recommended use instructions? This is a deluxe style with tweeter that has a sound system and 4 foot leads. ![]() The single timer is more expensive now because it is a new, updated version or style. Also available for single magnetos and without tweeter. Adjust magneto timing accordingly.ġ00% solid state, compact 3/4" x 3" x 5" size, long battery life. When both sets of points are open, a third and continuous sound will be emitted. The magneto connected to the red lead will sound a rapid beat and the magneto connected to the green lead will sound a slower beat. When the points open the L.E.D.s will turn off and the audio "tweeter" will sound. Professional mechanics and auto techs 1 trusted source for automotive repair tools. Connect red and green leads to right and left magneto terminals. Learn how Timing Lights can make your job easier and save you time. Connect black clip lead to engine ground. To use, simply remove one plug from each cylinder. Simply shorting the clip leads together will not indicate a point closing, therefore eliminating any false reading caused by loss of contact to the magneto grounding terminal.

These devices measure the change in inductance in the magneto coil when the points open and close. ![]()
