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.

?I had good luck with the Tiny Tach after opening up the shielding on a plug

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
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-
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
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 m
My engine rpm guage is not indicating. ?I have an aircraft rpm guage with an
impulse generator providing signal from the engine. ?The impulse generator has
2 wires, red and black. The instrument has 3 wires red black and green.
Attaching the wiring seems simple.?
