Hello guys, last year i bought camerons AS2 and got a lot of help from cameron and other guys , and i´m very thankfull for that.
so don`t know if this is an old story, but would like to give you something back.
i was loooking how to check the ignition timing on my engine and found different tools about 90.$.
So i thought to build such a tool by myself.
You need just a plastic cup, senk-lot, protractor, a small screw , some self locking nuts and washers. Hope the words are correct,cause my bad english. paid less than 10$ for that and building time was 10 minutes. i added some pics, so hope thats self explaining.
For checking and adjusting ignition points of the mags you also need a digital multimeter ( think nearly everyone will have one)

so best regards from germany , maybe i could help some of you guys
Heiko
