Tacho Question
Daddylonglegs - 19/12/08 at 03:54 AM

Mornin' all (well it is where I am anyway )

I have sourced oil, temp and fuel guages, need to get a Speedo though. My question is, is it mandatory to have a Tacho for the SVA, (OK........IVA, who am I kidding ), or is it just 'the done thing'?

Thanks guys.

bringing one of those for the SVA tester may be a good idea, he may just pass you there and then

tacho is not required.

but it is weird that a tacho is not needed yet the noise test is done at predefined rpm (some fraction of rpm at max power).

the sva guys have numerous ways of checking rpm.

-pickup on ignition lead

-vibration sensor strapped to engine

would agree its a handy thing to have though.
