Tiny Tach works fine on all equipment.

 

[pkgocart]

[Russ2251]

1 wire to wrap around plug wire.

[Russ2251]

[bajagokart]

havent heard of any analog tachs for small engines other than bikes

 

[Russ2251]

Not that I am aware of...
I'm sure something can be adapted.

 

[pkgocart]

how do adapted something ?

 

[bajagokart]

most analog tachs that ive ever heard of are for multi cylinder engines only

 

[pkgocart]

hmm illl thinks of something

You could build a circuit that multiplied the pulses from the plug by 4 and use any old 8/6/4 tach.

old cable driven tach would work too...would have to be creative on the hookup tho.

Appart from restoration, might I ask why you would want Analog? Digital seems much easier to read.. There is a reason all high end cars use digital...

digital is NOT ANYWERE CLOSE AS EASY TO READ its freaking hell on your eyes at night also.. having bright *** lights on your dash board and its also confusing because there too precise they jump around from say 3600 to 3601 3607 3605 3596... within a few seconds and that gets annoying as hell while a analog just kinda sits there and twitches somewhat.

I see it alot on American Cars... The Europeans alway must take the difficult approach...

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

What about the Caddy and Vette clusters I posted? You see it a lot on 1980s American cars, that's all. The digital dash was a failed experiment. The only new car I can think off off the top of my head with any digital readouts on the dash is the Honda civic and that's just the speed.
