Timing light for magneto?

(1/3) > >>

FEDNV:
So what kind of timing light do I need for a mag?  Can someone suggest or recommend one?  I heard or read that the newer ones with advance and stuff are not to be used on a magneto?  Is this true?
Thanks
Scott

dusterdave173:
I am interested in this answer as well--I use a plain jane old Sears and have had no trouble so far--I have never used the dial kind on anything--FWIW they say the Flaming River battery powered is the lick for mags--maybe, maybe not but...I have one--it is handy being self powered but the light has very little briteness and is almost useless out doors like in the pits --l like it in the shop but keeping d cells is a PIA

FEDNV:
I also have a self powered summit timing light but like you said it is not bright enough to see in the day time in the pits.

H.G. Wells:
I am on my second Flaming River self powered light. No, not terribly bright but sure is handy to use without finding a power source.

afuelcoupe:
Ferret model 81 is the best you can get
its the same self powered light that MSD puts there name on and sells for $100.00 more dollars
