If I wanted to check my timing on my 99XPL, I'm aware of needing to get a TDC dial indicator to set the timing mark on the pto and attaching an indicator to the block to correspond with the PTO mark. I also know that if I were to find the timing off, then I would need to take it to a dealer to have it reset, unless if I have a aftermarket rev limiter that allows timing adjustments.
My question is about the timing light. I hear that it needs to be a DC light, what makes the requirements for a timing light to be used on the seadoo different than one used on a car where you use the car's battery to supply the 12volts dc. Someone even suggested that you could use a automotive light but to power it off of an external battery not the ski's battery?
Any help on this?
Thanks
Jim
