Hi Colin
I agree that chewed teeth could send the signal wonky but surely you would
replace that sort of damaged part before flight. In any case that is not
really the issue. A wonky signal to the tacho from a tooth counter will
never kill your ignition as it's completely independent of it. Using a tacho
with or without diodes off the coil primary will always carry that risk even
it is is small as you correctly say. I like medieval points also because I
understand them and can easily replace them in the field at remote
Australian airports if I need to. Each to his own circumstance I guess. Long
live the diode :-)
