Maintenance & Service
When cleaning the timing light, use a cloth dampened with waterless hand cleaner. DO NOT use
solvents such as acetone and benzene which can be absorbed by and damage plastics. Promptly
remove penetrating oils, gas o line, and battery acid. The Inductive Spark Pickup is a plug-in replaceable
lead. It can be repaired or replaced if damaged. Leave the Pickup latch Open when not in use. The
magnetic cores are made of ferrite ceramic and, when kept apart, they are less likely to break if the
pickup is dropped.
