Default 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.

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.

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!

^^^ 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.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
