I just don't know the reason...
"$33. Tachometer":http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2DG2870&view=1&N=700+150+4294815748+400304+4294891600+
Red and orange go to power, black to ground, white to the headlight switch
Green goes to the negative terminal on the coil or the tach terminal on the distributor
Something tells me that even if I had 12v worth of batteries in a box this wouldn't work. Can any one tell me why?
is this a riddle?
not a riddle. just seems to cheap and easy to work or be "adaptable" to a moped
yeah most car/motorcycle parts or accesories are hard to install or need something extra to run.
i have found it is almost a gaurentee
maybe the question is, will this actually pick up a signal if attached to my moped coil?
not designed to read for a single cylinder. it'll have a switch on the back to select 4, 6, or 8 cylinder.
yep there you go.
yeah u need a tach designed with a 1cylinder in mind
couldn't i multiply the reading by 4?
Tiny tach is only a couple bucks more and works great. check them out.
It'll work, it'll be slow and it won't be very accurate I don't think but the needle will move and it'll look cool ;).

Most of these tachs are designed for multi-cylinder 4-stroke engines, meaning it won't work that well on your single cylinder 2-stroke.
If you can set it to 2-cylinder 4-stroke, it will work. As those would spark just as many times as a single cylinder 2-stroke, but otherwise you'd just be screwed with a messed up tach.
Get a Tiny Tach or a KOSO or something, those are designed to run on 2-strokes.
Ah Ha! is that one of yours or something you found?
or dish out the big bucks for one (meaning like 130 dollars) that goes to 14000 rpm i think and is built for a 2 stroke search my posts on general
you'll have to divide the number by 2 going from a four stroke 4 cylinder, but it will work. the only problem is, there is no reason to have a moped tach that only goes to 6k rpm
that koso stuff, thats what i want
