Analog Tach on a Kohler?
 

I'd like a dash mounted tach on my CC 149 and would prefer an analog dial. Has anyone done this and if so is there a particular tach you used and how it was wired in? Possibly a marine outboard twin cylinder tach? I believe they fire every revolution, compression and exhaust.

Excellent! I also will have some.

I was looking at that thread, but wasn't sure if that tach would work on the generator system of the 149. ??

Thanks for the reference.

I would say while it would work, it would not display the correct RPM as the
dip switches are labeled 4,6,8 Cyl so I would think a single cyl engine would not display rpm's properly but i could be wrong.
Best to address this question to the seller on ebay.
and let us know please.
The generator cannot be used as a pulse reference as there is none, also it is belt driven, so the pulley ratio need be calculated, if it did have a pulse.:bigthink:

I caved and ordered a digital induction tach that can be set for a four stroke single.

I really should look around and find one of those old, oversize chrome jobbies that we used to screw to our dashes! The cool factor was worth the coin and hassle. Just made your car look that much faster!

Now you are showing yer age, please don't mention "dummy spots" or
bubble skirts. :biggrin2:

^^^ Haha,yep! And higher end cars had an ashtray on each arm rest and cigarette lighters front and back. Instead of power points and flip out holders for your spring water.

I still drive a car that has recesses in the backside of glove box door for cups!-My youngest daughter did not know how to start my car because you have to put a key in the ignition!

I know I'm still young but that disappoints me :biggrin2:
Even worse is the turn dial gear selectors!!
