what timing lights do you use? as ive heard a lot wont work well or at all, my mate has tried 3 connected to a 12v dc power source
and none of them work
can i use the dc battery output from the regulator/rectifier to power a timing light?

Most scooters run a solid-wire, spark plug wire. This emits a huge amount of EMF that messes with the electronics in modern timing lights. You need an older timing light, or one designed to work with scooters/motorcycles (some scooter shops sell them). When I'm checking timing, I just grab a 12v battery to power the light. It's a quick job that doesn't have to be repeated. Once set, mark everything and just line it up the next time.

have a look for a brand called accuspark. I bought the basic one and it works well. My all singing all dancing digital snap on one that I use for work was useless when used on a scooter.
