Product Information
Full details
The Gunson Timestrobe Xenon Timing Light is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to accurately set dynamic ignition timing on any petrol-engined vehicle with a 12V system. Its key benefit is the brilliant Xenon flash for clear visibility, even in daylight, and simple inductive pickup connection. A potential caveat is its limitation to 12V petrol engines only. It features a high-visibility Xenon bulb, inductive pick-up, and built-in protection circuits.

FAQs
What type of engines can I use this timing light on?
This timing light is designed for petrol engines with a 12-volt ignition system. It is not compatible with diesel engines or 6V/24V systems.
How do I connect the inductive pick-up?
The inductive pick-up clamp attaches directly to the number one spark plug lead. Ensure it is securely fitted around the lead for accurate triggering.
What does the reverse polarity protection do?
It protects the timing light and your vehicle's electrical system from damage if the power leads are accidentally connected incorrectly to the battery terminals.
Can I use this timing light in daylight?
Yes, the Xenon flash tube provides a brilliant blue/white light that is highly visible even in bright daylight conditions, making outdoor use possible.
How long will the Xenon bulb last?
The Xenon flash tube has a capacity of 1,000,000 flashes, offering a long service life for regular use. It is also replaceable if its performance degrades.
Is this timing light suitable for electronic ignition systems?
Yes, it is designed to work with all 12-volt ignition systems, including modern electronic ignition types.
What should I do if the light is not flashing?
First, check all connections: power to the battery and the inductive pick-up to the spark plug lead. Ensure the engine is running and the battery has sufficient charge.
Troubleshooting
Timing light does not flash.
Check that the power leads are correctly connected to the 12V battery (red to positive, black to negative). Ensure the inductive pick-up is securely clamped onto the spark plug lead and that the engine is running. Verify the spark plug lead is functioning correctly.
Flashes are weak or intermittent.
Check battery voltage; a low battery may cause weak flashes. Ensure the inductive pick-up is properly seated on the spark plug lead. The Xenon flash tube may be nearing the end of its life and may need replacement.
Unit gets excessively hot during use.
Discontinue use and allow the unit to cool down. Check for correct polarity of power connections and ensure the vehicle's electrical system is functioning normally. Overload protection should activate, but prolonged use under abnormal conditions can cause heat.
Incorrect timing readings observed.
Ensure the timing light is triggering on the correct spark plug lead (typically number one). Confirm the vehicle's engine is running at the specified RPM for timing adjustments, as indicated in the vehicle's service manual. Check for any loose connections.
