Small Engine Tachometer

Description

A small engine tachometer is a compact, easy-to-use device designed to accurately measure and display the engine speed (RPM) of small engines such as those used in lawn mowers, chainsaws, generators, motorcycles, go-karts, and marine equipment. It typically works by sensing ignition pulses through a simple wire wrap around the spark plug cable, requiring no complex installation or external power source as many models run on built-in batteries. The tachometer helps users monitor engine performance, set proper idle speed, prevent over-revving, and schedule maintenance by tracking total run hours, making it a practical tool for improving engine efficiency, safety, and longevity.
