[Lou R]

Hi, I would like to replace the cable driven tacho on my 0-200 with an electric unit. is there a pick up available to come off the mag or spark plug?

 

Thanks.

A few models to choose from. Cheap, simple and easy to fit.

I have used a Tinytach for many years in my Corby. It works well. There are a lot of tachos made to connect to the P lead of a Conty or Lyco engine. I am using an MGL Flight 2 in the RV, this has a tacho as part of the whole instrument, but you can buy just a tacho for lower cost. The tiny tach just has a wrap of the input wire around an ignition wire and irt will not work with the shieleded wires on Lycomings. having said that I have just changed the harness to an unshielded wire but havn't tried a tinytach on it.
