This INDUCTOR Magneto Timing Device is a new concept utilizing the latest digital integrated circuitry, thus eliminating the need for the battery draining mechanical buzzer found in most of the older magneto timing lights. The timing indicators are light emitting diodes (LEDs) rather than the commonly used incandescent bulbs, further extending battery life. Since the device measures change of inductance in the magneto coil, it will not give a false reading should the clip leads pop off or become shorted. The INDUCTOR can also be used as a relay coil tester to determine whether the coil is functioning.
One of the INDUCTOR’s most convenient features is its compact size. It measures .75 by 3 by 5 inches and is packaged in an anodized aluminum case that will neither melt nor break. It fits into the mechanic’s tool box or shirt pocket and weighs only nine ounces. The INDUCTOR is powered by 4 AA pen light batteries. With the inherent low power drain of the device and prudent use of the on-off switch, the batteries should function for as long as its shelf life. If the LEDs fail to toggle when the magneto points open or close, it is an indication that the batteries need changing. |
Although I am indeed an aviator, this magneto timing light is a must have for vintage motorcycle use. I saw it used in an online video for timing a Vincent, which is what I have. The light makes the usually fussy task easy, and the results are more accurate than the “slide a cigarette paper between the points contacts” method. I am VERY happy with this purchase!

This “tweeter” is for the birds? Seriously, it is a very nice pocket sized unit that works as advertised if you have perfect hearing in the high frequency ranges (if you can’t hear birds sing, you probably won’t hear this tweeter). However, the lights (LED’s) work perfectly (points are open when LED extinguishes). I would like to hear the dual tone when timing dual bendix (2000 and 3000 )magnetos! However, it does a nice job, looking at the LED’s, (just takes a bit longer)!
Works perfectly, great upgrade from my old model

I do not use this on an aircraft magneto, but rather for the magneto on my 1967 BMW R60/2 motorcycle. It worked perfectly for that.
