Latest thoughts on my cheapskate tach "issue"
Ok..thanks for all the comments. Latest thoughts:
1) Why do I need a tach anyway??? (I needed it because I removed an ancient
mechanical non-working knotmeter from my 29 foot 1965 Columbiia
and was tired of seeing the ugly hole. Did I never want for a tach ?...hmmm
I can hear the speed close enough really. So..did I install a nice looking
hole plu? MAYBE!
2) Reading all the customer comments on the "cheeptac" I see some responses
from the company saying that really...you should BUY andl install a
30$ sensor. Yeah... maybe hack an install on the access plate to the
starter/flywheel interface. Yuck.
3) In the ads for these "cheeptacs"" they say that they need is a reliable
pulse stream (duhh). I have an Indigo electronic ignition. So...there
must be a way to interface with the signal from the opto sensor in the
distributor I would think. Interesting...
Again, being retired I am able to expend huge amounts of time fiddling
with unimportant things on my Moonduster .......which probably saves me maybe.....about $13 a year.
