will the tach measure rpm on a 1 cyl 4 stroke john deer also will it do a 3 cyl 4 stroke honda outboard 40hp also will it read a 2 stroke single cyl

The instruction sheet for the Tiny-Tach 2A Adjustable Model say: Can be used on most engines from single cylinder lawn mowers up to V8 engines. User adjustable spark setting from 1 spark to 8 sparks per revolution.

hi,i only used the tiny tac on a 22hp 2 cyl john deer mower,works fine,as per instructions its supposed to work on most engines.regards john

I have the Tiny Tach installed on my 3 cylinder 4 stroke Honda outboard and it works great. I just had to wrap the wire around 5-6 times as opposed to the 3 in the instuctions.

The one I bought it for is a 4 stroke. Not sure if it would work for an oil burner or not...

It will work as an hour meter and maybe as a tachometer. These "capacitive pickup" meters are sensitive to pickup from multiple cylinders. I assume that your motor is a 2 stroke 4 cylinder. All cylinders fire every revolution; so there are a total of 4 pulses per revolution (if you pick up all of them). Wrapping the wire around one sparkplug wire may sense 1 pulse per revolution or it may sense more from pickup from other cylinders. When I tried this meter on a Mercury outboard the readings varied intermittently. But I have used them successfully on 1 cyl, 2 cyl, and 4 cyl 4 cycle engines.

They use a generic picture. You must compare frame number to find if it will work for you. ie. shaft size, bolt pattern, etc. It will be 1 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.

Depends on the installed app. It will if the program allows for it. I use it with the torque app for android and can only do engine electronics but reads real time. Great item for the price. Works like a charm

I'm not sure. Basically the inductive clamp picks up the signal and the tool gets its 12v. power via battery clamps. I remember my old Honda 160 cb firing both cylinders at the same time (one at power stroke and the other at exhaust) so connecting to any of the two would give you the rpm reading. Not sure what a parallel twin is, sorry. I hope this helps.

1. It can be used on any spark plug wire to get spark voltage readings or RPM of that cylinder. It can also be used held over (about 3 to 4 inches max) the distributor or coil packs to get the vehicle RPM readings. It can also be held over one cylinder of a COP motor to get a RPM reading, I haven't tried voltage readings on a COP motor.2. Unfortunately it can't be used in the vehicle. The pick up antenna on the TA100 must be within a few inches of any spark plug wire or a couple inches above the distributor or the coil packs to get an accurate reading.

Though my application is for an 8 cylinder, I do remember seeing in the instructions there are settings for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinder engines, which are reached by a "cylinder setting" button on the back of the tach.

It works on my Honda Foreman ATV (4 stroke). Wrap the wire around the spark plug wire and go. It shows current RPM's when running, the max RPM's when you cut it off, then it will show the total number of hours. Very handy and very easy to use.

Yes,it will work on both 2 stroke/4 stroke,it's in the directions.I would not buy another one because the battery doesnt last very long and is non replaceable .

Pretty sure its 1 spark/rev. If it shows RPM over about 3600, you have it set wrong...

I would say "yes" with a caveat: if this laser measurer is located on a boat, the bobbing of the boat in the water will dither the reading on the display. If you use the "minimum" function built into this instrument, it will make a batch of readings, which you start and stop, then return the minimum value that it read. There's also a 'maximum" function.anonj

Hmmmm. Good question. Because the inductive pick up relies on picking up the high voltage through the ignition lead, the timing light portion should work. But, because the ignition on a 4 stroke happens once every two revolutions and a 2 stroke happens each revolution the tach portion would be off. Best bet is to buy the Innova 5568 with is switchable between 2 and 4 cycle engines

i am not sure....i have had a poor experience with this tach and the company that supplies it...i recommend that you not buy this tach.....mike

I'm a private owner and not a dealer. Best to call Yamaha Customer Service to see which Tach or Dual Gauge models are compatible. I know that Yamaha changed the guage/motor compatibility some time ago. Also perform an internet search to see recommemndations. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

It measures voltage and pulses/rpms on everything. I've tried it on 2 stroke snowmobile motors, 4 stroke tractor motors, car engines ect...it works on everything. I bought mine a few years ago and it still works just fine. I've been very happy with it...it does what it says it does accurately.
