Tiny Tach for Recon

"The answer is left as an exercise for the student."
Unfamiliar with your specific machines, I hope enough clues are provided for you to find the answer yourself. (Hint: Does your ignition system have points, broken by a cam rotating at half crankshaft speed? A pickup coil sensing a mass on the alternator rotor?)

Diogenes,
My Tiny Tach reads around 1800 rpm at idle. Given that my Bayou has CDI ignition, I suspect the true idle speed may be around 900 rpm since I purchased the four-stroke tach. Of course that assumes the Tiny Tach made for four-strokes is showing a rate that is twice the rate of spark.
With that in mind, the two-stroke unit would actually work correctly on a four-stoke that fires upon each revolution.
