Static Timing

[GLFLSTCI02]

I have replaced the ignition sensor plate while doing some work in the camchest and need to static time the ignition. I have searched and have found some good instructions but I have not found any that tell me what wire/wires I need to tap into at the ignition module with the VOM. Can anyone tell me what colour wires I need to tap into at the 7 pin connector? The bike is a 1995 Dyna, no CPS.

TIA,
Gene

A timing method that works for points ign. and should work for electronic is to put a radio set to AM frequency and between stations close to the bike. When a plug fires the radio sound will pop.

Tapping into the ignition pickup/cam position sensor wiring have never been an issue I have ever seen discussed in SM's,magazines or forums regarding static timing, but IIRC the green (maybe green/white in -95) wire is the signal wire.

As xlfan said, most likely use the green(+) wire and the black(-) wire for reading the voltage changes as the motor is slowly turn towards the power stroke.

Ohio is exactly right as far as my stock 1995 FXDS is concerned. I tapped into the Green and the Black on the male side of the 7 pin connector with a VOM and was able to static time the motor.
This however happened only after I removed the "new" Drag Specialties sensor which was defective out of the box and put my 28 year old melted OEM back in. A lot of this aftermarket is pure junk, I got a 2000i on the way, I hope it fares better.
Thanks for everyones help with this, could not find the answer anywhere but I got it here, great stuff!
