(*´ω｀*)Good morning!
8 o’clock blog.
Today’s topic is “Bike Tools” .
Vintage bikes? Pre-1990s
—you’d be surprised how often you need to adjust the ignition timing, and
the “elongated holes” allow for it.
You can’t adjust it much,
but it “actually makes a difference.”
Using the factory specification as your “baseline,” you can
tweak it a bit forward or back for fun too.
Digital timing light sold on Amazon
I used to have a “Panasonic timing light”
which was surprisingly expensive in the used market, so I sold it.
This product has a few more features,
so it looked interesting and I decided to buy it.
The only feature I’m really impressed with is the “tachometer”
At first, I thought it could show advance angle,
“Wow, something that convenient exists?”
I thought.
But in reality,
it can’t show that at all.
However,
being able to “see the RPM” is a little convenient (*´ω｀*)
Angle adjustment works! (Not needed for bikes)
There’s not really anything particularly useful about it… ( ；∀；)
Power comes from the battery via clamp
(there’s also a modification option for mobile use)
Since it’s for cars, the cord is “really long,” which is annoying. I’d like to shorten it,
but since I use it “infrequently,” I’ll just put up with it.
I’m labeling it with P-TOUCH (*´ω｀*)
Since I don’t use it frequently, I tend to forget how it works. That’s just human nature.
To avoid frustration, it’s easier to keep simple notes.
It can handle both
“2-stroke/4-stroke” modes (*´ω｀*)
I mostly keep it fixed on “BT/RPM” and “4-stroke.”
Full P-TOUCH mode activated! ( *´艸｀)
You can also turn the “strobe on/off.”
Connect to the battery and clamp to the plug wire
Just set it to the manufacturer’s specified idle and align it with the F mark.
This gives you the manufacturer’s specified ignition timing.
But if you adjust it forward or back, the character changes again.
*You can only adjust it slightly in terms of angle.
It’s a tool that’s rarely used these days.
You don’t need it, but having one lets you “know the baseline.”
In other words, you can reduce—or at least reduce—some of the guesswork.
(*´ω｀*)A timing light is an essential tool too!
