Rev counter help please

 

I have made many searches on Google for a rev counter, but I keep
getting either very expensive workshop types, or the more common on dash
type. All of which are usually set for 4 to 8 calender engines, and not
single or twin.

Any idea of a workshop rev counter able to be used on single and twin
calender engines, and not too expensive, and hopefully in the UK.

many thanks for any help you can offer.

Cheers Vaughn

You probably want something typically called an "engine analyzer," which
includes a tachometer function, and is available in various price ranges,
depending on features.  They're used to do tune-ups on engines, and were
more important in the old days, before everything became computerized.  You
should still be able to find one in nearly any auto parts store, though, and
better ones may have settings for 1 or 2 cylinders (although 4, 6, and 8 are
certainly more common).  In a pinch, you can take readings for a 4 cylinder,
and convert them with some pretty simple math.

 



Them calender engines only rev to 12 months y'know.

Now you COULD try Googling for "Motorcycle tachometers" or you could even
try ringing your local bike shop, because they generally stock "Hi-Level"
tacho's, which sell retail for about 30 quid. In single, two, triple and 4
cylinder versions.
