How to make a tachometer for a spark plug?
Works fine as a non-contact inductive pick up tacho using the scopes inbuilt frequency counter……..for a auto engine multiply by 2 and then 60 to get RPM. Wrap a piece of aluminum or copper foil around the spark plug wire. Connect it to a second capacitor to ground and build a 1000:1 capacitive divider and your circuit is done.
What is the tachometer part number 795163?
Hand Held Tachometer. Part number 795163 is a pulse operated, hand held tachometer designed more as a diagnostic tool than other Tiny-Tachs. This tach is set up as a wireless device but comes equipped with a plug in wired antenna for those occasions where a stable rpm reading is hard to get.
Which is the correct way to install a tachometer?
Tachometer installation can be as simple as connecting the tach’s sending wire to the negative side of the ignition coil, while other ignition systems feature a dedicated tach sending circuit. In either case, installing the tachometer incorrectly can cause significant damage to both the tach and ignition system.
What are the different types of tachometers for engines?
We carry several types of tachometers including digital tachometers and wireless tachometers. Select your new tachometer below! Meter displays rpm while engine is running. When engine is stopped, meter displays elapsed time. The maximum speed is 20,000 rpm and it updates 1-2 times per second.

Can a pulse activated tachometer be used on a multi cycle engine?
is “Pulse” activated tachometer – i.e. the pulses generated by the ignition system on any gasoline engine can be detected and activate the electronic tachometer. The tach can be set to display proper RPM on a single cylinder as well as multi cylinder, two or four cycle, engine.
