ok how about i make it $40, and prefer a timing light with the induction pickup (connects to the spark plug lead)
hmmm at this rate i may aswell just go to supercheap and pay the extra $$ for a brand new shoddy made in china one.

well i got one and a tachometer for $20, but man oh man what a piece of shit this timing light is, It's got 2 leads, one for the negative, the other goes on the end of the spark plug lead, you have to take the lead of the spark plug and do the timing without 1 spark plug firing, the light is dim as shit and is colored red, i can't see a dam thing on the crank when doing the timing.
GRRR!
So i gotta get a proper one that just clips onto the lead without disabling that spark plug, and also has a brighter normal colored light! i'll check ebay again.
