Hi, can you use a 4 cylinder tach on a 2 cylinder engine?
I think it will be twice as accurate. :sidelaughHi, can you use a 4 cylinder tach on a 2 cylinder engine?
Go to this site and scroll down to the TECH-TACH TT-20K. It's a superb unit and works with 2-stroke as well as 4-stroke engines. It reads ignition pulses, displays up to 20,000 RPM, and updates are about 2 per second.
I just bought one like this tonight(different brand)from Harbor Freight.It was $39.99 but i had a 20% off coupon :fing32:.I am using this hand held model here. It was about 72.00, works really good, you put a piece of reflective tape on a rotating part then you shot it with the lazer.
The hand held looks good. Were would you put the tape to get an accurate reading?
yup, i remember having one in the old days that counted sparks, makes sense.Go to this site and scroll down to the TECH-TACH TT-20K. It's a superb unit and works with 2-stroke as well as 4-stroke engines. It reads ignition pulses, displays up to 20,000 RPM, and updates are about 2 per second.

I use my TECH-TACH TT-20K for all of my small engines, including my chain saws. The fast response (1/2 second per reading) makes this an especially good choice for a diagnostic tachometer.
If you cannot get the tach close enough to a spark plug wire for a good reading, you simply use the clip lead that's provided and clip one side around a plug wire and the other to a "grounded" surface.

I put the tape on the fan pulley of my 322, you could use about anywhere that rotates at engine rpm
I have been using this tach for 15 years on 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines. It has been very accurate and reliable.this Briggs & Stratton 19200 Tachometer is cheap and accurate ~$20
