wiring

If it is the box that starts on the mag + changes over to the crank trigger, I be-leave the wiring is on his site. Tried to contact him for 2 weeks. Gave up and went to the left coast. they answered the phone on the second ring. I guess he doesn,t need us little people anymore. Don

I know it. I had a note on my sheet that said when display goes blank it is activated and the throttle switch has to see ground. Of course I cant remember what the hell it all means.

the best way to get help from them is to email them it also is the best way to place orders now

 

Leahy

I have always had pretty good luck contacting Dave Leahy. He usually answers the phone himself so he is pretty busy. My dual start timer is set up to start off a co2 pressure switch that is activated by the throttle and in my case the third gear shift for the second starting point. I bought a pressure switch to electrical switch that Leahy sells. I believe NHRA wants the timers started off a co2 switch. I will admit that Dave's instruction pages leave a little to be desired but once you figure his stuff out it's pretty bulletproof. Much simpler than a MSD timing controller. Sorry Mike Canter- I have a brand new one still in the box. Too many horror stories about figuring them out for me. I am not the brightest bulb in package. Dave Germain

I tried to wire it up like the 2 step on his site and it dont work for me. Display does not go blank if I understand correctly that means it is activated. maybe I need that air switch like you were talking about on my throttle.

i wired mine so when I want it to fire on the base of the mag, it needs 12 volts. so the 12volts is supplied to it by the starter button at the same time I send 12 volts to the starter solenoid.
