Injector Line Tachometer
« on: December 01, 2008, 08:18:47 PM »
Here is an interesting device that measures engine speed using a transducer that clamps onto an injector line. Don't see why it wouldn't work on a slow speed engine--it's supposed to work on any diesel regardless of the number of cylinders. Also serve as a run time meter and has a couple of programmable timers built in for service reminders. Price is a little high, though.

Something like that could possibly be made using a transducer from RS Components, or similar, and a bike computer?  That price doesn't look bad but if you want one in the UK it would work out quite expensive what with the dollar so high against the poor old Pound Sterling.  ???And what the 'customer and excercise' mob bleed from us if we import anything. >:(
