I seem to be having a small problem with the ignition timing. I have an inductive timing light that I'm using. I have it set up properly per the instructions, and the light strobes every time the #1 cylinder fires. The problem is seeing the notches on the pulley. From my understanding the strobing is suppose to make it look like the pulley is standing still, allowing you to clearly see the notches, but this isn't the case. It attempts to, but the notches don't exactly stay put.
The notches go kind of like this:

As the pulley is spinning it seems like the notches are vibrating back and forth, repeating between 1st and 2nd as noted above. This makes it kind of difficult to adjust the timing properly.
Advice?
