I have searched the forum and have not found the answer to what I think is a simple question.
I have followed the shoptalk thread by Octane on setting the timing for the Dyna-s.. It went fairly smooth but I noticed that the light stayed on before and after the timing mark for quite a few degrees. Is this normal? Based on Octanes directions it seems like it should be a tighter tolerance but this is my first ignition work an may be fairly normal.
Thanks in advance (no pun).

Re: Dyna Ignition
My timing learning curve has been somewhat retarded but mine did that too. It should come on just as the mark rolls by, though. I believe the length it stays on after is "dwell." I am now in unknown territory. Gurus? (I chimed in here to use the pun, no knowledge is expressed or implied.)
I need to remember to keep my expectations tiny so I don't end up so whiny.

Re: Dyna Ignition
I timed mine recently and the light should come on exactly where you want it to. That's what you're trying to set, but the light will stay on for much longer as you continue to manually turn the engine over. So to answer your question it's yes. Normal.

Re: Dyna Ignition
Great. The best part is it makes sense; fire when compression is highest and then trail off so you can get complete combustion. I will make sure it initiates when the F line crosses in the normal rotation and then stops a short time after.
Thanks
