Home use Tachometer

Post by **mikey9** » 24 Sep 2008, 09:04

If I am going to do this timing right on my engine - I reckon I need a simple tacho....(I know you CAN do it at idle and let the rest sort itself - but it sounds like 3000rpm is the best point to set forcheck advance at?)

Can anyone recommend a basic Home Tacho - I see Maplin do a couple

Does anyone have any recommendations - and suggestions as to what I should be looking for in a basic tacho.

The one you linked to should be fine for the job. Might get one of those myself.

Looks like the tool for the job

(sorry I couldn't look earlier ... werk has blocked Maplins, eBay, Amazon etc other than at lunchtime ... whatever that is

)

Have managed to scrounge one off a mate - if anyone buys one -tell me if the Maplin ones are any good - Christmas isn't far off.

You can get a tacho function on some of the better timing lights.
