How to check rpm

[SawTroll]

The tiny tach is by far the cheapest in the range of inductive tachometers, there's another few American tachs which are priced up to about £150... And then there's the DET/PET series of tachometers, which are what Stihl, husqvarna, echo and dolmar say to use... Prices start from £200! Although they measure up to 30k rpm, so should you have a mcculloch kart saw, you can tach it

 

 

I have a PET 2000 from 2007, that always performed flawlessly. It cost me about 100 USD from a US Dolmar dealer back then.

Yeah, try importing to the uk, they'd whack on an extra 100% for postage, 'handling fees' and import tax. I priced them up at the local dealer and it came out at more than importing!

None of that happened in my case, but I bought it with a saw, from a dealer I knew from a US chainsaw forum.
