Tachometer

[Mesterh]

on new-age electronically controlled carbs ( ms280i and the soon to be released husky 576autotune)... not an issue for most

 

Oohh that sounds interesting will have to have a look at those

 

TBH I reckon fuel injection and turbo chargers are the way forward, would be great on an 020

what masterh said...

 

 

the dti / tinytach. good tach, good price, crap uk website, but helpfull folk none the less

 

what price on that tach?

[Mesterh]

I think, it was around the £60ish mark.

[ScotClayShooter]

I have the TECH-TACH TT-20K think it was about £50 ish.

 

This is the manufacture web site Design Technologies. Hand-Held economical tachometers. Wireless tachometers.

 

 

And this is the UK one, although it is a bit of a poor site tinytachuk tinytach

 

 

I had a tiny tach and they swapped it for the tt-20K the tiny has a wee thin button battery and seems to be really badly affected by cold and the unit wont work. The TT-20K has a PP9 battery and works better it also comes with a clip on lead that is handy as i you can clip it on the plug wire and have both hands free to run whatever your using.

Hmm 15,500 is the MAX rpms! mine runs best at just under 15,000:001_tongue:

 

Sounds scary even at that LOL

 

Only saw i have that i dont want or need to port:thumbup:

Ported 262XP running a little rich.

 

A tach is no substitute for setting a saw by ear but once set by ear/timed cuts/plug colour its useful to check quickly that its still in tune.

 

Saying that at least when you try to set a rev limited saw its easy to see if its 4stroking or on the limiter as the tach goes nuts.

LOL with 200 psi compression you need an Elastostart although a MS460 rescue saw handle might be better.
