Gunson 77008 Timing Light with Advance Feature,Blue,White

Fantastic, A great item for the classic car enthusiast. Easy to use, good hand grip with pistol style trigger switch for comfort of use. good bright light. great HT lead connection with sliding clip, no need to detach HT lead. rubber protective light shroud keeps it safe from bumps and bashes during working. treat it well and I should thing it will last most amateur classic car enthusiasts for a good length of service life. Advance retard adjustment dial at back of the unit is easy to set. Good clips to battery terminals. I think quite a stylish design. Many thanks to the seller for this great product. All best wishes to fellow classic car enthusiasts, Happy motoring.

Excellent bit of kit. The advance dial on the back of the timing light makes setting up any car easy. It's also amazing how much difference is made by rotating the car's distributor just a tiny bit. Now I understand why it's essential to use a timing light! Good quality, bright light, easy to use, what's not to like? Recommended!

The gun worked perfectly the first time I used it, but after that it was very erratic and adjusting the dial made no difference. I sent it back to Gunsons for recalibration, which they did FOC despite the gun being out of warranty, but again I had the same problem. It worked the first time I used it, but after reconnecting it to check on the timing adjustment I'd just made, it wouldn't give a consistent flash and turning the dial made no difference. I tried it on another car and had the same problem, so sadly it's now consigned to the bin.

At around the £50 mark this light is a great tool. Does exactly what you want it to do. I wouldn’t pay more for it though and I have seen the same one being sold for up to £88. But for a simple timing light for the home mechanic I found this to be perfect.

Worked fine initially and after the first timing session I knocked it off the bench whilst still in its packaging. It has not worked since so do not "drop test" this product as its fragile. Worked fine but fragile is my opinion.

Great timing light used for my MG really easy to use didn’t bother reading the instructions No issues with lead length if you know where to take power from in the engine bay. The switch at the back for the advance is easily moved but if you are aware it’s not a problem. Recommend

Being the owner of a couple of "Old Skool" cars with carbs and contact breakers, but being separated from my brother's brilliant Snap-On digital timing light by about 180 miles it was time for me to get my own. This one fits the bill, timing can be advanced manually but the adjustment knob doesn't lock and is easy to catch and send the timing out if you're not paying attention. I'd say suitable for the home mechanic but not in a professional situation where something a bit more robust would be better.

Great gun, however the strobe light has failed (only used it 5 times) but can you get a replacement???? Can't find one anywhere in the WORLD! Emailed Gunson several times, no reply. So, great gun just hope it never fails. Edit: After ringing Gunson direct (David in the Service Dept) - I happy to say they kindly offered to send me a Xenon flasher unit FREE OF CHARGE. Therefore I have changed my review score to 5 stars. As I said before Great Gun - but now with great support.

Utilisé pour contrôler et régler l'avance à l'allumage de mon bi-cylindre, l'usage est simple et précis. La notice est en anglais, mais pas nécessairement utile si on sait de quoi on parle. Je regrette seulement que le réglage ne permette pas d'afficher quelques degrés d'avance en négatif (sur mon volant moteur, les repères sont calés à la valeur de l'AA et non du PMH). J'ai même pu mettre en évidence un dysfonctionnement d'une de mes bougies.

Ottimo funzionamento. Ho utilizzato la pistola per regolare la fase della mia 500 d'epoca. Solitamente la regolavo sempre a orecchio. La pistola mi ha permesso di fasare perfettamente l'accensione ed ho notato miglioramemti nel funzionamento del motore. Consiglio l'acquisto di questo prodotto anche se un po' piu'costoso specialmente per la possibilita' di impostare i gradi di anticipo. In pratica una volta impostati I gradi di anticipo come da specifiche del motore, basta puntare la pistola e verificare che le tacche di riferimento della fase appaiano allineate. In caso contrario va regolato lo spinterogeno. La luminosita della lampada e' piu che adeguata: anche lavoranndo all'aperto al sole si vede bene.

Ottima pistola stroboscopica, fa il suo dovere, un prezzo buono, grazie a questa ho potuto regolare l'anticipo al mio motore.

Lampe stroboscopique avec déphasage réglable avec une petite mollette. je l'ai acheté pour régler l'avance de l'allumage d'un moteur de 205 gti, mission réussi à merveille! Les plus : Fonctionne à merveille, lumière puissante (qui permet même le réglage en plein jour), facilité d'installation et d'utilisation. Les moins : Manque de précision sur le réglage du déphasage, extrêmement fragile Pour le prix et la marque je recommande!!!

Très bon appareil. Je l'ai testé sur une TR3 et un Bertone. Je recommande cet appareil. Son usage est aisé et de bonne ergonomie. RAS
