Does Anyone Know The Proper Way To Use the RCEXL Ingition Hall Sensor Test Kit?

the buzzer stops the moment that the spark occurs.  do you also have the protractor looking thing to mount on the prop shaft?  I would guess that if you set protractor to some reference on your engine so it is at zero when the spark occurs, and then turn the crank until the piston is at TDC, you should be able to read the degrees of advance you have.  if you want 28 degrees then just set the spark to occur 28 degrees before TDC using the gap between TDC and when the buzzer stops.

Or maybe you knew that and I've got it all screwed up?  it's entirely possible!

I'm glad you could decipher what you describe in your post.I couldn't.Sounded "Greek" to me... You didn't have it all screwed up.Evidently, I did

Bob, .. et al,

When the light/buzzer stops is where to set the timing, and when the ignition fires. The ignition fires as the magnet passes the trailing edge of the sensor. It sounds like the tester is working for you as it's supposed to.

It's good to have you here.

Take care
