GL1000 Goldwing Ignition Timing

Static Timing - this procedure works the same with points or pointless ignition.

	My personal preference is to use the "static timing" method. The first thing below, is the way I've been making timing lights for 30 years. You can easily get bullet connectors to fit as shown. On the double side (left) the empty sleeve is the wire going to the condenser. If you have points, leave the condenser connected. If you have points, leave the condensers hooked up. There connectors are inside the left side cover.

	This is a 12 volt, single element tail light bulb and socket. The socket is easily purchased at most auto parts stores. You'll want to use a couple feet of wire (red & green). The black wire can be fairly short. At the end of the ground wire, you need a good size alligator clip. Big enough to clamp just above the points, at the top of the timing case where the top "timing cover" screw goes in.

	I've removed the points cover (left) and clipped the ground side of my static timing light to the points housing as mentioned above.
	Sorry, I haven't had time to work on this the past couple days...I've just got some other things of priority. Thanks! Ed Swearingen
