4 of 5 may not be as complex as other tools Sunday, October 8, 2023
taco eater : J  
but it sure gets the job done. Each full rotation of the adjuster equals 1mm. doesnt get any more simple than that!

of course with all things for mopeds from china (maybe not china idk) quality control can be iffy on thethreads. but thats not treatlands fault!

4 of 5 You might need this Monday, June 14, 2021

Maybe you’re really good at guessing. Don’t get one.
Maybe you’re a moped psychic. Don’t get one.
Maybe you can borrow mine. Get your own.
Maybe you’re converting an a3 points 6v to an a35 cdi 12v and there is no timing mark on the case to correspond to your new fancy ignition system so you need this in order to figure out where to line all that stuff up. You should consider getting one.

4 of 5 NEAR DAMN PERFECT. Friday, January 26, 2018

Condensed review.

Tighten the base all the way in then slowly turn in the screw while rotating the engine. When the piston touches the screw... that's tdc! Then you back off the engine rotation n turn the screw in more to whatever timing you want. Amazing right?

But like everything in the world... there's a catch.
Because you're finding tdc through the knocking of the piston hitting the screw... there's kinda a element of error.
You can almost bet that tdc is actually occurring when the piston / screw contact hasn't occurred yet. Like they're ABOUT TO FUCKIN TOUCH OR BARELY TOUCHING.  Like it's a small margin or error but it does exist. Like maybe what you think is tdc... is actually 1* or worst case scenario 2* btdc.

I understand it's minor but it's something to be considered. Usually I time a HAIR more retarded to make up for the margin of error.

*shrug
It's fine for mostly everything.. but french beware.

5 of 5 Low pro to help you go Sunday, June 22, 2014

Short overall length means you can slip this baby onto your moby without pulling the engine off. Lock nut and simple operation makes this a dream for setting up the timing.

4 of 5 Great timing tool for the Moby Monday, October 8, 2012
taco eater : brian schulz from cranston, RI United States  
Well I also have the IGM moped two stroke ignition micrometer.  This one I feel is more accurate than the IGM as this one has .1mm increments where the IGM you are only in whole mm increments so your guessing at best to hit 1.2 or 1.5 mm.  I had no problem with this threading into the head at all.  WORKS GREAT FOR THE MOBY as the other micrometers are too tall so I would have to disconnect the lower engine mount to clear the frame.

4 of 5 Works! Sunday, May 20, 2012
taco eater : Manipulator of Time from San Francisco, CA United States  
This lil guy is a really cheap way to accurately set your ignition timing! Like in the listing, the threading is a lil rough and on mine, it was only able to thread into my head about half way (thread pitch is off?) but it doesn't really make a difference. ya can't really go wrong for 14 bucks.

edit: i spent 15min cleaning up the threads with a jewelers file and now it threads in perfecto!
