I started the timing light saga by asking if I could run my lamp off an =
independent 12v supply. And the answer was =E2=80=9Cyes=E2=80=9D. (A =
moot point anyhow as my spare battery has died).
At the time of asking I said something like =E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99ve got a =
Mac timing light and it works fine=E2=80=A6=E2=80=9D. And it did, last =
time I used it! Now, it=E2=80=99s about as much use as a chocolate =
teapot. One little glimmer and then nothing.=20
I shouldn=E2=80=99t have tempted fate=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6It=E2=80=99s a =
decent looking thing and I somehow doubt that it=E2=80=99s just given up =
the ghost while sitting in its case.
I don=E2=80=99t abuse the tool=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6I connect it and =
disconnect according to its rather pedantic instructions and I keep it =
secure in its rigid plastic case. It=E2=80=99s not been bashed around =
though I came close this afternoon.
Thing is=E2=80=A6.when I had the car tuned for its Webers on the rolling =
road about 2 years ago, the guy tried two lights, one of them a Snap-on, =
before he could get a reading. That got me wondering about lamps in =
general and then, this afternoon, about my car in particular. And I =
recalled that these lights seem to be quite fussy in what they like by =
way of spark plug leads.=20
I see that cheapo lights can be had for under =C2=A320.00, say $27.00, =
on eBay. I could just about run to that, but it would be pretty silly if =
that didn=E2=80=99t work either.
(Our two daily drivers are diesels so I can=E2=80=99t try the lamp out =
on them).
What else can I say? Car runs OKish. (Timing is off!!). It has a =
123Ignition distributor which uses carbon(?) leads. Not copper anyhow. =
And it has a Sports coil with about 7,000 miles on it. Nothing in there =
looks dodgy, but does it ever?
Anybody had this sort of thing happen? Any ideas?
