How about a tach? FOUND SOME! By Hammerspur (Read 5,844 times)

I've been scouring the web with no luck
Does anyone know a source for analog tachometers compatible with single cylinder GY6 scooters?

Multiple references to digitals like "Tiny Tach" but would much prefer a sweeping dial gauge, alot more user friendly IMO.
Keep thinking surely someone must offer one

Anybody know where these might be found?

No responses, but if anyone else is looking I've found these:



www.amazon.com/Equus-6086-Black-Tachometer-Measures/dp/B000EW0KW2

Works on 1 or 2 cylinder motors by inductive pickup from spark plug lead like a timing light.
Not sure how stable or accurate that'd be for full-time use, but price is good.
(Would be better too if scale went a bit higher, say 10 thou'...?)

WOW!! Scaled to 15,000 RPM'S!
Optimistic as HELL, but looks really impressive! ;D

Can be programmed & hard wired for single cylinder engines that use waste spark ignition.

Best prices for either I've found from several sites are the ones linked.

wow , i like the look of the second tach..very sporty...mine is digital..
does that need some type of calibration before installing? or just wire it up and go?
nice...thanks for posting, a buddy of mine just bought a 150cc chinocycle,,i'll show him this tach..maybe he's interested.

We weren't ignoring you, I responded over on the 50 to 200cc board ;D. The Tiny Tach works the same way and performs just fine. I saw the one that went up to 8,000 but didn't mention it or the others that do the same because the GY6 routinely goes over that. I've never run into the 15,000 RPM job and am interested to see if it works for you. Let us know! Rich

From what I read here:
www.thumpertalk.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-793139.html

It needs to be programmed for the application and a line connected directly (unswithced) to the battery to maintain programing memory or it will revert to base settings.

Go to the Koso NA site ( www.kosonorthamerica.com/ ), navigate to "Gauges..." and click on "Scooter" in the dropdown - 12 pages of stuff!!

BA481B17 (pictured above) appears on P.10.

anyone know of a tach that will work on a single cylinder engin? most of these seem to be for 2 or more cylinder engines
