Self made ignition timing box.

Has anybody else made one of these tools to check timing using the instructions downloaded of the net?

Looks interesting, please tell us more and where you found the plans.

Never worried too much I think my timing is slightly off and runs just fine...

I'm a drummer in a covers band.... bass player tells me my timing's been off for years...

Self-made ignition timing box

I made one and it does what it says it will do. Bought the few bits you needed from Maplin - remember them?

From memory you have to know which connector block you have from the Halls Sensor (old round pin or the later "flat type").

You can have mine for a small donation to a charity of your choice.

No need, timing check is built in.

Ignition key off
Unplug the headlight (optional)
Remove the flywheel viewing plug in the bell housing
Remove the alternator belt cover

On the 1150: Rotate the crank by hand to a little before the 'S' mark (5° BTDC) on the flywheel
Turn the ignition key on - the fuel pump will cycle normally for 1 sec
Rotate the crank very s-l-o-w-l-y CW by hand until the fuel pump cycles again
The crank is now at the hall sensor trip point - in this case that is also the static timing point
Look at the flywheel marking to see where the static timing is set
Adjust if necessary

On the 1100: Rotate the crank by hand to well beyond the 'OT' mark (TDC) on the flywheel
Turn the ignition key on - the fuel pump will cycle normally
Rotate the crank very s-l-o-w-l-y CCW by hand until the fuel pump cycles again
The crank is now at the hall sensor trip point - in this case that is also the static timing point
Look at the flywheel marking to see where the static timing is set
Adjust if necessary
