Tachometer for Tuning
04/30/15 at 06:45:43
 
Thanks to koehlerrk for his link in another post.  I just posted this to make it easily searchable.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.rcteam.rcheliheadspeed&hl=en

RC Tachometer  on Google Play  $1.31 for the app for your phone...best part...IT WORKS.  Very easy setup even for an old dude.  Like the kids say "there's an app for that Uncle Chuck".  

Now easy to set idle speed...even though the old ear wasn't too far off.

Cheapest tool in your box.   Cool  Cool  Cool

You think???  Gooooo  Gaaators!!!!  Thanks.

Thumper fits real nicely!! Right wheelbase and weight.  Pulls up with an ATV winch...wanted to try  riding it up, but the wife said no...just kidding.  Grin   Grin

Currently on the road to West Yellowstone, Montana for the summer. Cool

set for >>>normal car motor>>>4 strokes>>>1 cyl>>>400 to 2000 rpm

Picks up at the muffler end (DYNA baffled) or next to the cylinder head. Same readout either way.   Cool

I hope that the people who use this will report what they find the idle was set at when it was just what they felt was right. I'm betting that the people who understand how this engine works,what it needs to stay healthy, will be either a bit high or not even 100 RPM low.

Pretty good old aircraft maint officer ears here...was set at 1176.  Pretty close for an old guy huh?  Cool   Still worth the $1.31.  

Compared the app tach with the tach on the Hummer and it was right on... pretty cool program.  Cool
