Ok guys, I appreciate the help but looking out the window may help me determine if the prop is still moving I guess, and sometimes I like to use the loud noise and sounds to help reassure me its running too.
But seriously! I am not legal without a tach and I am running into obstacle's trying to get a new one quickly. My current tach is a UMA 19-806-10G. It is a single P lead driven tach off the mag with a ground and 12 volt leads as well. My attempts to find an airport friend with a spare tach has done no good. My search at Advanced auto turned up only tachs that stated. " Not for magneto" My attempt to use a tiny tach borrowed from a friend did not work because it will not work on shielded spark plug wires. In other words it would not work on a Slick mag with typical shielded mag spark plug wires. This is the big thing holding up completion of my annual/ condition inspection. I also depend on my tach to help me set up all my approach speeds so a tach has always been an important instrument to me. yes in a pinch I would get along without but I would not intentionally go without one. I have checked archives on this and can not seem to find anything. So, if there is anyone who has some great advice/ suggestions, or if someone knows of a 3 1/8 or not much smaller tach at NAPA or auto store that will work in my shielded wire, Slick mag configuration. Please let me know as soon as possible. My broken bones may keep me from flying my KR to gathering but a fellow KR pilot and friend can fly it for me if I can get this taken care of.

Very anxious for your help. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Check around the airport to see if someone has one of the little hand held digital tach's and use that for the Gathering. The other option is look out the window and see if the propeller is spinning. :-) Larry Flesner _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
