Gunson G4113 Timestrobe Xenon Timing Light

The light is easy to use and an essential item for its intended purpose of accurately setting car or motorcycle ignition timing.The timing marks are easy to see, even in bright conditions.

Good bit of kit for price, does the job

Very light and not well built

Parcel arrived quickly, packaging was simple but effective and easy to open. Strobe light is well made and nice to handle. It works well either from the vehicles battery or from a separate battery. The instructions for use were simple to follow....BUT....failed to mention that the inductive coil that is clips round the HT lead well not pick up the spark from a well insulated HT lead. The first strobe light I received I sent back as it appeared not to work and the chap I spoke to at the supplier did not mention the flaw. I only discover this after talking to the owner of my local motorcycle shop. I checked the strobe on my lawn mower - it worked. On my motorbikes - nothing. I had to make up a poorly insulated insert to fit between the plug and the lead - tried again, bingo. Used it to time a Norton Commando motorbike I am rebuilding. The spark was bright and effective and the trigger to switch on the strobe is a nice touch as it means the strobe can be left attached without it flashing all the time. All in all very good once I worked out how to use it.

Good value. Works as it should.

Simple to understand the instructions and the strobe light shows the timing marks clearly in operation. I used a sharp black pencil to make my engine timing marks stand out.Make sure that the arrow mark on the HT lead sensor clamp is pointing towards the spark plug, as the arrow mark is not obvious until you look for it.

Super fast delivery, does what it should, good price. Cant think of anything else to add

I used it twice and now it doesn't work,
