    Default Anyone in Sydney with a Tacho?

    As the title says, is there anyone in Sydney with a taco? I bought one off evil bay just recently and it's telling me my mowers are running at 800rpm, at full throttle so there is obviously something wrong with it,
    it took me 1 week to get it and I don't want to buy another one and waste me money, so if anyone could help me out would be appreciated. if I could borrow it or if we can come up to some arrangement would be great cheers

    you probably have to change the settings as some engines fire more / less per revolution

    hey Greenie, go to your local go cart shop, they will have a reliable clip on tacho that you could borrow (free of charge), especially if you take your mower over there.

    you'll need to set it for 1 cylinder/2 stroke

    have you set the tacho to 4 stroke
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
