  • I like the DTI-20K tachometer. A little pricey but it is a great value. Link in the description.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!. I started using a tach a few years ago. The old ears lost their calibration. That's pretty good not needing any adjustment.

      A bit pricey. Saw it on Arborist Site years ago and have loved it ever since.

    Appears that tach works perfectly when using the wire attachment, will suggest it to our flipper North Star small engine repair, Safe and happy holiday season wishes to you and your family from all of us at EP. Just a weird side note watched two movies yesterday Priscilla and she walks over the carpet at Graceland and voila a giant EP, then the next one forgot the name but the ladies portfolio case had a big EP on it. Amazing how many EP's are out there eh?

      @@KensSmallEngineRepairYep i see a lot of wrenches on YT just putting up to the plug or wire and not accurate they bounce all over the place. At EP we still use the old analog one we purchased off Stens which has an accuracy of plus or minus 2% works fine for us but still expensive.

    Ken do you have to put that tach on a certain setting or do u just run it on default 360? Smash that 👍 button show Ken some ❤

    • @KensSmallEngineRepair
      @KensSmallEngineRepair  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Default 360 on that one. Depends on if it’s single or dual cylinder and if it sparks every revolution. The manual for it gives a good explanation

      @downeastoutdoors8713 Před 5 měsíci +1

      ​@@KensSmallEngineRepair so if it was a twin cylinder briggs would u change it off default. I actually own this tach but the instructions I couldn't really understand all that well

    • @KensSmallEngineRepair
      @KensSmallEngineRepair  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I’ve never had to change it from the 360. If you put it on a twin and full rpm is 6 or 7 grand, then yes you would have to put it on 720

    Ken, I hate to change subject, but I bought a 15000 Lisle Rigid Hone after I saw you use it in a video. I'm having a hard time getting the stone width on the hone measured.
    I'm fairly close. When I run this hone in a cylinder, it should true itself up, shouldn't it?
    I have a cylinder that is already .030 over, so I could run this hone it it for a bit that should should true the stones? Am I thinking right?

    • @KensSmallEngineRepair
      @KensSmallEngineRepair  Před 6 měsíci

      You are already 30 over. What are you trying to accomplish with the Rigid hone? Is the bore out of round. Is it tapered? Are you going for a different size or are you just trying to cross hatch what you have for a new set of rings?

    • @bigjwarlok8538
      @bigjwarlok8538 Před 6 měsíci +1

      I was thinking of running the hone in the bore that is already shot just to get the stones trued up. I guess you could say "to break in the hone".
      I think the stones are fairly parallel, but it's hard to get a good reading on my mitutoyo caliper since the stones aren't "perfect shape".
