Looking for a 10,000 tach to install in my teryx, only ones i have found are the 5" monster tachs i am looking for something smaller and cheaper just want to use it to get my clutch tuned perfect.
I didn't ever look into tachs before. I just did some research that I should have done a while back. Only tach I ever use on a UTV was on the dyno and it clips to plug wire.
Most tachs connect at the coil and and if the coil is getting 8 fire signals such as a 8 cyl car then the tach needs to know to divide the pules by 8 to get the rpm.
The issue on some single cylinders is the plug fires a waste spark which means it fires on the exhaust stroke as well. The tach would need to operate for a two cylinder then to get the RPM right.
My timing light is a good example of that, it reads twice as high on the Teryx until I switch it to 2 stroke.
Looks like the Tiny Tach Commercial would be a good tach, not expensive and picks up every 1/2 sec. Totally programmable to what ever ignition type you have.
Making me think about this reminded me I could just use my timing light as a tach when doing road testing.
hey i didnt research anything, all i did was google small diameter tachometers... i dont want one so no need for me to read and research....
