Tachometer

[Bruceo]

Who makes a good tach that will work on my 390 Honda? I'd rather a round old school one over the digital one but if thats what works best,then digital it is.Thanks.

Still my 390 till it gets to ya.... :laugh:

I was using this.

A day and a half and its mine..lol
What the hell are they talking about,,a hour meter? Thought it was revolutions per minute?

 

[Stangrcr1]

does both. If you want to keep track of hours run, as in oil change interval, etc. I paid no attention to the hour meter, just left it on tach. Cheap and it worked.

Ok thanks.Ill get one ordered.i was hoping for a round tach to put between the handlebars..oh well.

 

[Stangrcr1]

You don't have to use this one. There are a lot of them out there. That is just the one I used cause it was cheap.

This one is VDO but only goes up to 8k

Here is a bunch of Tiny Tachs.

And here is a list of them.

I bought a few of these and have one on my clone powered speedway. It works fine but is a bit slow to react so if you reved up engine with no load it would lag a bit but when riding it works just fine and looks great too tach signal from on off switch on blower housing. requires a 12v battery.

Can you get a tach app for your phone? My kid's phone has a accelerometer and a speedo app that creates a neat head-up image on his car's windshield. I suppose he uses it to call people, too. :laugh:

Thats very funny Tom:
I guess someday there might be, there is an app for everything else.

As for me:
I use cheapo trolling tachs much like the one Stangrcr1 uses.
He has a better one than I do however with more functions.

Buy that one, best deal I have seen yet.

And Don..it will be mine today, a day early. :smile:

I have this one(think its this model - either way you want the one that comes with an inductive pickup)....certainly didn't pay that much for it. Think it was $80 from Amazon.

In following this thread, I note some require 12VDC to operate. Do any of them operate by just the induction pulse off the coil independant of a power supply?

 

[rmm727]

Mine needs 12vdc
