Got a Twin Tec for my 97 S1. Model 1005 single fire. Trying to static time it with the red LED. Turn the unit back and forth and never lights. Did I get a bogus unit? Or is there something that I am missing?

I'm guessing you have the engine at TDC before you try to rotate? Crank the bike and see if the light ever comes on...

Ratbuell keep the ideas coming...Yeah it is at TDC and I finally get the light to light but only for a second. I can't get it to stay on. It seems like I can get the red light to flash by turning the unit but I can't seem to find where. Even when turning slowly. The VOES green light also flashes for a quick second too. This is all while not running, just key on. I don't have a timing light but I heard that if you try oil in the inspection hole just makes it tough to see the marks anyway. Any help would be awesome. Thanks everyone.

They sell clear plastic timing bolts for that.
I'm pretty sure they are cheeep.

Doublecheck the instructions. It's been so long since I put the one in my FLHP that I forget..but is the light supposed to stay lit? Or does it only blink when you find TDC and then you're supposed to leave it there?

Other than that, all I can suggest is to pull the shutter out of the bike (timing cup, I think it's called in the manual) and clean it real good; do the same for the TwinTec pickup. it's a magnetic pickup, if there's debris or something in there it can make a wonky signal. Worst case...get it close, fire it up, warm it up, and time by ear.
