I have a Kohler Vtwin and ive been wanting to get a tachometer but cant find one that will work for my purpose. My engine only goes to 5000-6000 MAX and I already have a hall effect sensor on my flywheel so if theres a tach that has that as the input that would be ideal. (ive tried the cheap ones but they all died a week later). If you have a good tach thats not way to expensive i would love to know.

Good & cheap are mutually exclusive.
I keep "Tiny Tacs" here for customers.

Tiny Tacs are hard to beat for the money. I had one of the very first ones made from Kohler and it lasted for about 17 years on my Yazoo with a Kohler CH-18 before what I guess the memory battery went out and it finally quit working.
