Joe, Rob is correct about the shielding but I had good luck with the Tiny Tach after opening up the shielding on a plug wire enough to wrap the sense wire around the plug wire, underneath the shielding. This was on a KR2 with an A65. It was still functioning after 500+ hours and about 5 years without any maintenance or problems. I know others have had other experiences.
