Hi All,

 

Can anyone recommend a timing light maybe with the advance feature not looking for all singing all dancing but one that will do the basics well, have looked at the Gunson 77008. Also is a Colourtune Kit a sound investment 

 

Cheers

Ive got the accuspark one £60 on ebay, digital advance and digital rev counter which is why I bought it as none of my classics have a tacho. Its nice

[Stu1961]

Thanks for the reply

 

That looks like a nice bit of kit for the price (SP8000, £44.95) is that the one you have?

[CityEPete]

Thats it sp8000

[Stu1961]

Cool

I use colortune, it does take some getting used to, (doesn't everything) but will then allow you to get a really good setting. It's a bit of a pain swapping it from cylinder to cylinder to get an overall view, but in my opinion one of the best ways to set up a carb at home.

Ah! That's still just on my wish list. I've always assumed they were too expensive, how much do you expect to get one for?

£100 for a gunson one on ebay

[Steve-O 2014]

cheaper a halfords, even cheaper with a trade card

[Stu1961]

Accuspark sell the Gunson one on there website for £97.90. How do you go about getting a trade card for Halfords.

Click the Trade Card link near the top. http://www.halfords....tegoryId=292503

 

If you don't meet any of those criteria, you could try doing what I did. Show a crapload of auto factors receipts. I showed pretty much all I had! Minispeed, Minispares, Mini Sport, Camberly Auto Factors, Halfords, eBay car parts sellers etc and tell them you're a "keen home mechanic". 'Tis what I did and it's a godsend. For instance, they sell BPR6ES spark plugs for £17.99 for 4. With trade card it's £4.23!

Cheers will give it a try
