What tach are you guys using?

a327vette · 12-06-2008, 10:02 PM

My 92 4 stroke marathon is apparently one that got out without a rev limiter, so I am just curious as to what rpm it is turning. I would like to stick a tach in it, but dont want a digital one...I kinda like round gauges.
What are you guys using on your carts? Where do you get your rpm references signal?
Thanks

Equus 8068. It comes with the inductive pick up. Camp the inductive pick up around your spark plug wire, run a power, and ground wire and your good to go. Theres also a back light that works great at night.

(Can be calibrated to work with 4, 6, and 8 cylinder engines and outboards)

Wondering about 2 cly's ?

Thats what I have noticed about most tachs on the market. I guess someone makes one for bikes that should work I guess?

Most outboards are 2 cylinder engines. Looks like this will work and be an easy install..

Ya it said the same thing on the box when i bought it (4, 6, and 8 cyl engines). But it works just fine on my single banger cc. I'm swapping in a big block at Christmas time and I'm hoping it will work on the V-Twin. I'm sure it will.

So what is everyone's engine taching at before the rev-limiter? Or, where would it be redlining?

Not sure, I disconnected the rpm limiter before i installed the tach. With the rpm limiter disconnected my fe290 reaches about 2700 rpm max.
