Solution

changing the Ignition Timing

If using the battery test function

- Make sure plug cap is attached to the plug

- Turn on ignition and power up

-  Wait about 90 seconds until sleep mode is active; LED will 

begin flashing once per second

-  If battery test is enabled (jumper is plugged) remove the 

jumper from programming pins

-  Wait about 3 seconds; a flashing sequence changes itself

-  Unplug battery

-  Plug jumper back (to enable battery test)

If not using the battery test function

-  If battery test is disabled (jumper is removed), plug the jumper 

to programming pins

-  Wait about 3 seconds until flashing sequence changes 

-  Unplug battery

-  Unplug jumper back (to disable battery test)

To  change silencer type, repeat the procedure again:  

short muffler 

 tuned pipe 

 short muffler, etc.
