My dumb question of the month
I need an hour meter and a low RPM tach for my SA 200 welder. The operating
range for the tach would be 2500 rpm max. I have gotten two rpms so far, 1550 and 2300. The hour meter just has to be reliable, and probably won't see five hundred hours a month. I am assuming these would be simple wiring with some crimp terminals. Are these Napa parts? Are Auto Zone, Checker acceptable substitutes. Personally, I don't like buying a lot from AZ or Checker except fluids. Is there a supplier that has these for reasonable prices, perhaps a digital that would have all in one? Any decent brands without spending a Franklin? Steve |

Steve A few good options he http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...atchallpartial Unwrap the link as needed of just search for tachometer from the home page. Stick on LCD tach and hour meter, even a mag pickup version for diesel or electric stuff. |

Easy installation--one ground wire and a sensor wire wrapped around a plug wire. Be sure you understand how your engine fires so you can get the correct model. Just curious---if you take weekends off 500 hours a month works out to around 25 hours a day. How do you do that? I've been trying for years and haven't figured it out yet. Bill |

I'm going to the big city tomorrow to get some fenders, lights, a hub pressed with some new lugs, and a couple of new tires for the old welder. I'll stop at a couple of places and check. This is a minimal application, and anything in the $20 range would be fine if it has tach and hour meter. Steve |
