I'm currently running two of them on different motorized bikes they are hour meter/ digital tach combination connected to the plug wire by wrapping a small lead wire around it...has a setting for either 2cycle or 4cycle use.
Hour meter is very useful to keep track of my breakin hours. The tach is accurate but has a very slow response time.  What I mean is that engine revs indicated lags real time engine speed. Not a problem for my use cause I'm not pushing limits. A racer would have big problems with lag time. Once engine speed is held steady the tach is pretty close to correct (I mounted one on a Rebel equipped with a factory tach & they indicted about the same rpm at steady throttle. Under $20. on ebay, not a bad buy. I have one complaint, the digital readout is not lighted on mine and in cold weather the display is very dim and hard to read...on nice warm days no problem seeing.

I have one of the tachs on the way.     

Tom ,

Have you braved the chill to test that tach you ordered ?

I'm curious if you find the same results as RickC .
