HI all
I am interested in fitting A Speedhut legacy tacho to my 59 super rocket. These from the makers say they can be fitted to Most gasoline engines and do not require a sender, and can hook up to a coil
However can they pick up the signal from the HT lead on the twin , they do say not to splice onto the HT lead as will damage the tacho. But I have seen reference on cheaper tachos that you can wrap a signal /pulse wire around a HT lead to get a reasonably accurate signal to the tacho,
Anybody done this ?, if so what brand was used and how did it work? The Speedhut tacho is small enough to possibly fit in a Smith case, and can have the Bezel screwed off to remove needle and overlay with a matching dial. :)Yes I know its not original but I have the wrong oil pump and don't have the correct tacho which I believe is a reverse 3/1 I also don't want to run a cable off the magneto, as I will have to drill through cover and tap ,plus change mag drive etc
I would appreciate any info from anybody that has had a go at fitting any electronic tacho to there magneto bikes
thanks Ray
