Digital timing light / solid core wire

Hi,

I picked up on eBay a snap-on digital timing light 2261 but am having problems reading the tach and suspect that the timing reading may be off. For instance, I preset the light to 12 BTDC, hoses plugged, aligned Z1 with the fan housing mark. I then reset the light to zero advance and the timing mark appears to be between Z1 and 5 BTDC. The manual says that solid core wire will give inaccurate readings and suggests replacing the number 1 wire with a conventional wire. Has anyone had similar results?
