Hoping someone can please help me out again. I got my engine all back together and it was a little hard to start but does run and hasn't died on the muffs. I pulled the plugs and grounded the ignition wires to check the idle timing but I only get a strobe now and then from my timing light. So I put the timing light lead on #3 and same thing. Then I put my original switch boxes back on and same thing. So then I removed kill circuit and yellow rectifier wires but still intermittent strobe from timing light. My timing light is a digital Snap-on from the 80's that also has a tach.Tomorrow I am going to try a different timing light. My trigger is new oem and the stator is a cdi less than a year old. I am thinking I will run engine and check rpm's on each cylinder with the timing light to see what I get. Is there something I might be overlooking or can you recommend what to check next ? Thanks
