KR> Engine RPM Guage
I don?t think I?d put the sense wire where it might be possible to arc to it as it might damage the tach. If I recall, I covered the open shield area on the plug wire with heavy aluminum foil to complete the shield path.

Great Plains' website has instructions for installing the Tiny Tach sensing wire inside the distributor cap of the mag without cutting the plug wire shielding. There is also a good tutorial on the Fly Baby website about installing the sensing wire on a plug lead by cutting the shielding and re-wrapping with copper tape. Chris K. Can I wrap the tiny tach wire around a spark plug with the same results? I have stainless steel mesh shielding around my wires and would prefer to fund another way to attach the tiny tach than cut my wire shielding.

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.

Joe, I tried a "tiny tach" and could never get it to work with my magneto set up. It really did not want to pick up the signal though the shielded wires. If you peal back the shielding you might have a chance if that is your set up. I ended up putting on a Westach gage which worked fine.

Hi Joe, I don't have any experience with these parts either, however I must ask a few questions that would hopefully help someone who knows more. I would expect the impulse signal to be something you would not read on a DC or AC setting on a DMM (multi-meter) but could be read on other types of meters/scopes. What did you use? Do you have a manufacturer and part number for these components?
