Default Re: Simple DIY distributor/ignition bench tester

I have made one ,I,m flat out redecking my verandah at the moment, and will be for a couple of weeks,
But it was an easy job, main thing was to make an electric motor to drive the dist, I used an old cooling fan motor from a 2000 or 2010 triumph motor bike , then made a variable controller for it. drove the shaft that drives the dist via a toothed belt, set up the guts of a timing light, I have 6 v via the resistor ,6v and 12v avail to test different coils. I have a tach set up so its an easy job to map out the advance curves.
