Built for 12V systems, it works on a wide range of petrol engines including cars, motorcycles, ATVs, RVs and boats. The unit combines brighter illumination with a reinforced cable and an ergonomic pistol grip to make timing checks easier in daylight or dim workshop conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this timing light help me set ignition timing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OBDMONSTER strobe synchronizes its flash with the No.1 cylinder’s spark, freezing the timing marks so you can read the timing degree against the engine’s timing scale. That lets you advance or retard the distributor or timing mechanism until the mark aligns with the specified degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInductive clamp picks up high-voltage pulses without cutting the spark plug wire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright strobe makes marks visible even in daylight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick setup: connect red\/black power leads and clip the pickup on the No.1 spark lead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks to around 1000 RPM for accurate readings at common idle and rev ranges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat engine types and vehicles will this timing gun work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is intended for 12V gasoline ignition systems and fits most two- and four-stroke engines.
