Timing light...
After my woes on carb and timing this last week, I am looking for a timing light. I don't want to break the bank on this and was looking at this one from sears... Good or bad? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1260 ... ockType=G5Thanks Brett

Re: Timing light...
I got one similar, but like Zilla, got mine from Checkers with the RPMs and really like it.

Re: Timing light...
Cool, thanks guys,, I'll stop by there this afternoon and see if they have one with the rpm gauge.
Checker is my 50.00 store. I never get out of there without dropping 50.00

Re: Timing light...
I ended up with this one but paid 80.00 since they price match and that's what Sears had it for. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detai ... yword=3568. Now to try and clean up the timing marks to be able to use it.. Brett

Re: Timing light...
I bought one from Harbor Freight at around $25 I think. I'm not sure of the quality but it works great and is an Advance unit so you only need to see the TDC mark. I'd recommend it if $ is a concern. I had one from Sears but the button was at the rear and you had to use your thumb to engage it. Was a bit more difficult than the trigger models but worked.

Re: Timing light...
Good to know on that HF model. I will likely pick up that one next time I'm in there JIC.
