How do you know what setting to use ( sparks per revolution) nine is a Briggs and Stratton V-twin Vanguard 18 HP

Well I have a honda ruckus, its a 49cc motor. But I did some research and the 360 setting is the one that was correct for me. I would look up what your motor is supposed to run at idle rpm then find the setting on the tach that matches and that should be the correct setting.

Most of the two cylinders are the same setting. I knew my kohler ran at 2600 so when the tach said something near those revolutions I knew it was at the right setting.

Pretty simple. It's either 360 or 720 degrees. I will think it's 360 since your motor has what is known as waste spark wich means it sparks at every revolution thus 360 degrees. My motor on the other hand only sparks on compression (TDC) thus every 720 degrees. Hope this helps. I've used several of this units and have only positive things to say about them. Good luck, Julio...

According to the literature the GEARING is from 9 RPM at 661:1 (9 x 661=5900) to 88 RPM at 71:1 (71 x 88 = 6200)So the motor RPM seems to change depending on the Gear Loading. It averages 6000 RPM.It's also rated at 3 Volts. So a 2 Cell AA Pack Battery, or a 3 Cell Nicad, or a single cell LiFe should work.I'm adopting a single cell LiFe with a Solar Cell from a Security Light Pack to try to do the job that Iwanted it for.

HI,On 900 rpm will give you halfon 1800 rpm will reach full amperageMake sure It's very important to have Highest core cranking Heavy duty New batteryand if you run 4 gauge wire from battery positive to behind alternator post and leave original wire tooand if you have stereo system to add capacitorThanks

No problem!! I try to keep my books and parts all together. There is a seperate booklet for the Briggs & Stratton engine, Model 120000 but I am not sure on this next number Quantum 625, 650, 675. 700, 725 Series. Copyright 2012 B&S; corp. Form no 380567TRI Revision: B Hope this helps you!! Connie

the tach counts every time there is a spark it calulates the rpm from that. this will work with a 4 stroke motor this is what we use it with. I dont know if it will work with a 2 stroke motor

I called Torco and they say it is 100%. I use a 15-20% mix with Metanol for a modified 5 hp briggs

Press & hold the S1 button for 4 seconds; the display will toggle thru 01, 02, 03, & 04. When you see what you want, release button & wait until the unit "freezes" your choice (maybe 10 seconds). The display will read rpm correctly on 01 if your engine "throws" 2 sparks per revolution per plug. 02 is for one spark per revolution, 03 for one spark on every other revolution (and 04 is for something else; no rpm, just running hours). Those 3 "spark frequency" choices cover every engine ever made on this planet; if that doesn't work, call the Mars planet engine factory, as that must be where your engine was made!

TO SET THE TACHOMETER (SPARK PLUG FIRING REVOLUTION):Press and hold the S1 button for 4 seconds. The LCD will display 01 (spark plug fires twice per revolution),02 (once per revolution), 03 (every other revolution), 04 (hour only, will not display RPM).Once you find your desired spark plug firing pattern, release the S1 button.The LCD will blink for 8 to 10 seconds and return to total hour meter mode.The default for the standard model is 02 (once per revolution).

wrap input sensor wire around a spark plug wire. battery driven, so no power needed. mine kept forgetting settings such as 2 or 4 stroke and # of cylinders. also newer model mercury will not give proper readings.

Try this. hook up a timing light to the spark plug wire (inductive type), and shine the flashing light into the tach and read it. The chainsaw will spark on every revolution, so it should read RPM directly. I've done this on antique tractors and it works nicely (checked against a mechanical tach) but on an engine with a distributor you need to double the reading because the spark plug only fires every other revolution of the crank.

I'll need more information to answer that. What is the model number of your Briggs engine. OR the model number of your equipment?
1622104
I don't know answer. Actually, you could take out one spark from your moter and see what is the model. This is also how I figured what kind of spark plug I need. Hope it won't take too long to take one SP out. :-) Maybe you could leave a feedback again to help others, if it works

I bought this carburetor for my push mower. I got the model number of the mower and checked out the sears website. Withe their site I can look at every part on the machine with part numbers. I then cross reference the part number I find with Amazon. If this looks the same, it probably is. Their is not to much variation on Briggs and Stratton carburetors. I did not look at the numbers on the carb itself. Hope this helps.

If you need to run it slower than 9rpm, you could set up a pwm circuit and adjust it slower, but I wouldn't use any higher voltage to run it faster than 88. Use the pwm circuit and the different gear ratios to adjust in between, you will, however have the most torque at the 9rpm gearing.

There is a red dial you adjust. 9 is the hardest, 1 is the softest. I prefer a firmer ride so my Titan is set at 7.
