It looks like it was sent in to Chicago for repair at one time. As others have suggested, it's easier to use a 12V battery than find a timing light for 6V.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I use a OLD school Sun 6/12v you install a adapter tween the plug and wire...   [Reply]  [No Email]

Depending upon design it may not flash at all. I operate mine from a spare 12V battery placed beside the tractor. Dean   [Reply]  [No Email]
