Do the instructions mention that the final ignition timing should be set up with a strobe light :?: Previous instructions should be straight forward mate

Perhaps you should contact the new owners for an instruction leaflet.

Most systems can be checked by strobe light?

I think the Newtronics is the old Pirahna optical system. If it is optically triggered, make sure you do NOT set it up in bright sunlight! Ideally do it when the sun is NOT out or cloudy or even better in the garage with minimal lighting. The optics can be confused in "bright light" (ET?) and your timing will be out. :shock:
