Re: How Important is OMC Ignition Timing?

quote wbeaton:

I’m not interested in arguing with you, legendre. My video clearly shows a buzz box setting the points without issue, which you state is impossible. That’s all I’ve got to say on this subject.

Ok now – there are buzz boxes, and there are buzz boxes. Obviously, the one used in your video must be unlike 90% of all other basic, continuity-type buzzers or lamps. May I ask – does it have an adjustable sensitivity / threshold control? This wasn’t mentioned in the video.

It would be helpful if you posted the make & model of the buzz-box you’re using, as anyone trying to duplicate your work with a typical buzzer or continuity light would drive themselves nuts..

Again, your average work-a-day continuity tester isn’t capable of sensing the small (< 1 ohm) shift in resistance when the points break open – and this is what we are trying to get across to our fellow members – yes?
