Timing

[addicted]

How can you tell exactly how much timing you are throwing at it? Is it as easy as just hooking up a standard light. Where are the timing marks. I do have a Dyna, so if I get the software will that actualy show me the full curve?

With the dyna you would need the software I think. I don't deal with them so I'm not totally sure. I use the adjustable timing plate that mounts behind the stator. It has index marks you line up with your case halves and its set. Dunno aout the dyna stuff, probably need the software.

I have an adjustible plate also, but that just tells you how much additional timing your using. Your cdi is preset with more. A banshee can run a total of 30 degrees, then meltdown. I am just wodering how to tell exavtly how much it currently is running.

Yeah I don't know of any way to tell where it is at while it is running. Maybe you could hook up a timing light and use the flywheel somehow, but I doubt it. If you are running a dyna ignition I wouldn't pump the adjustable plate up too high. I know the stock CDI advances the timing, then as the RPM's go up it will retard the timing.
