Just trying to set up my dizzy with a test light, i got the engine sitting at 5 deg BTDC and have fitted a test light to coil, if i rotate dizzy it light stays on , there is a short break point where no light is on but looks to me like the light is on for 1/4 turn of the dizzy what am i doing wrong |

I just took it from your thread title 'electric' dizzy, I 'guessed' that you would have written 'electronic' if that was (and turns out is) the case. |

Not knowing what type of electronic set up it is, it would normally be - as you rotate the dizzy body clockwise - just as the lamp goes out. |

With some electronically switched dizzies you can use a small radio (tranie  to pick the switch point. Tune the radio off station, place it beside the dizzie, rotate dizzie as you would to set conventional points and you will hear a burst of static as the switch fires.....

It's the same electronic module I'm using: You only need it nearly right to get it to start. Put motor on TDC, #1 firing. Mark the #1 plug lead's position on the dizzy body. Turn dizzy until rotor lines the mark up. Turn the body ~3mm clockwise. Refit the cap. Start it and use your timing light. |
