Vintage Sears DC Power Timing Light Model 244.2117 offered strictly for parts, repair, restoration, or display. Sears Roebuck diagnostic tools have a loyal following with vintage automotive, marine engine, outboard, and classic inboard mechanics because they were simple, rugged service-bench tools made for real tune-up work before modern distributorless ignition systems took over.
According to the Sears 244.2117 owner’s manual, this is a DC timing light intended for checking ignition timing to the engine manufacturer’s specifications. The manual notes use with an external 6 or 12 volt battery by connecting the red clip to positive and black clip to negative, and connecting the high-tension lead to the No. 1 spark plug. It also references magneto-system use with proper grounding, making this style useful to vintage marine and small-engine technicians when the application is compatible. Factory repair-parts information lists features/components including a 1-1/2 inch bullseye lens, 6 ft two-conductor lead assembly, 7MM high-tension wire, battery clips, trigger switch, transformer, flash tube, and spark plug adapters.
Condition: For parts / not working. Assume it does not function as intended and may need electrical repair, rewiring, bulb/flash tube service, internal component replacement, or cleaning. Please review photos for exact cosmetic condition, included leads, clips, cracks, missing pieces, corrosion, and wear. This is a vintage Sears timing light, not guaranteed for modern coil-on-plug, distributorless, EFI, or electronic ignition applications unless the buyer verifies compatibility.
Great candidate for a vintage engine diagnostic tool collection, marine mechanic shop display, restoration project, or parts donor. Keywords: Sears timing light, DC power timing light, vintage marine engine tool, outboard ignition tester, 6-12 volt timing light.
