Re: How Important is OMC Ignition Timing?

[WAYNE]

quote Richard A. White:

quote wbeaton:

I set up hundreds of motors without the timing tool and they all worked just fine. Then one day I tried a timing tool and I Was sold. It was faster and provided a perfect spark. I would never went back to the feeler gauge. I use a buzz box instead of a multimeter. It works much better and you don’t have to remove the wires to the points.

I obviously fail because every time with wires connected, I get continuity. So please explain with pictures preferably exactly WHERE you place the black and red probes. I can get it to work but I have had to remove ALL wires from the points to get it. Pictures even on just one set of points will do.

Thanks

Richard, I have always had to disconnect the coil wire to use a multimeter. This is part of the reason I believe the buzz box is superior.
