Great little mod, thanks.

Hooked one up to my 4010 Mule and it worked great!

Thank you for the new idea.

thank you that was helpful.

mice hack. wasn't sure if you could test with these and only do 1 or 2 loops around the spark wire. what I wanna do is buy 2 of these and check 2 plug/cylinder engines. then swap them and see if the readings are the same. could tell me if a plug is fouled or ignition coil is bad. ie running on 1 cylender or week cylender. rough running engine.

Thank you for sharing this absolutely clever idea! After watching your video I ordered a battery clip from Amazon and installed it on the tachometer/hour meter I received a few days earlier. It was easy to do and works like a champ! I was surprised that the electromagnetic field was strong enough to trigger the device (with essentially what amounts to one turn of wire) but it certainly is! The ability to be portable is a big plus. Best wishes for your continued success here on CZcams.

Neat! Thanks for sharing.

I know you're mad you didn't think of it yourself..Thats hilarious 😂 Thanks subbed

I just use a rubberband 😊

Hot to put settings in 4 stroke

does this tach have a setting for 4 stroke and 2 stroke?

When using near a lawnmower keep it well away from the mower skirt, trust me lmfao. Should be fine to just clamp the wire in the clip keepers without what you've done unless there's a specific reason. My tach is a different model/make however it works on the same principle & doesn't need to be threaded/looped with the clip. The downside with mine is assuming the battery is ok, it requires me to touch the looped connection at the meter for it to read correctly i.e the exposed wire at the end of the insulation, why's that ? damned if i know it's been like that since new,even sent the first one back until by accident i found how to make it work. It wasn't a cheap meter either grrr

What amp clip does a person use?

great video

Great idea! Anyone questioning the accuracy has to wonder about the accuracy of the inductive tach to begin with. Using this on a 4 cylinder engine, is any conversion needed when it reads only a single cylinder?

Yes. I am furious I did not think of that. Seriously. Brilliant. Thank you sir! 9.10.2023

Great idea! I'll be doing this for sure.

Thank you

Another good way is to wrap the wire around good and tight, then put a zip tie around running and standing ends to keep it all tight.

Brilliant, why didn't I think of this myself? Thanks for the hack

brilliant

I need to get a clamp. I agree its a PITA to wrap. I was just always wondering how it would work since they say too many or too few wraps no good. How many wraps is a clamp equal to? According to the consensus here it works fine so I guess its a moot point.

I put the clip on today and it worked fine, you just have to position it close to the hinge, it works just as good as wrapping it around 5 times and then taping it in place.

My clips are coming today from Amazon, wrapping that wire around is a pain, I hope it works out for me, thanks!

So today it was 40 outside so I could try this hack on the tach I purchased and it worked just fine. Thanks for this great Hack !!!!

Can you extend the length of the inductor wire?

I tried this and it didn’t work. My tach has an s1 and s2 instead of an M and S. What am I doing wrong?

No way that’s accurate! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good stuff 👏 another great mind thinking outside the square.. I'm not alone.. 👍

Awesome and very simple. I use the tachometer at time but not regularity and was about to buy a $60+ unit when I stumbled into your post. It saved me😀 some much needed $$ . Thanks for sharing this idea!!

I have just ordered a different model with a ground wire. Do I have to connect ground wire or will it still work. Don't really want to loosen bolt on motor to connect it as is a new motor and might void warranty if anything happens to it. Cheers.

It works I did mine

This is great just got mine yesterday and glad I found your channel thanks.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It was hard to hear you when you talked about cutting the wire. How long did you leave the wire?
