Looking for a simple method to check rpm's on 2-stroke engines.

Just for general checking of RPM for tune-ups and such, check out pawn shops & used tool places for a handheld engine analyzer. Since cars are going computer-controled, they are getting cheap. I saw one for $35 that showed RPM, dwell, and such. It worked by clamping to the spark plug wire. Just remember to divide by 2 for a 2 cycle.

All engines and tach's are not created equal. You "must" use the proper tach that has the ability to pickup the correct number of sensing pulses per revolution from the engine, each engine is different as are the tach's. Not every tach will work on every motor. There is not other way know to check rpm. Sound is certainly not the way.

WOW! Thanks for the info, you guys are great. It never dawned on me to check-out all those places. I didn't even know Polaris had a thing-a-ma-jig thingny. Now i know where to start looking.
RobCulp' yeah that's basically what I want to do and, also would like to check my other 2-stroke toys & tools I have.
