I need to replace my tach and am having trouble finding something suitable. Currently, I have a 3-1/8" electronic tach w/ hour meter powered by a transducer attaching to the tach drive on the engine.

I have a header tank and no electrical system. Most of the new electronic tachs w/ hour meter I've found require 12V power. I can't find one like the one I've got and would rather not try to route a mechanical tach cable around the tank. Guess I could use a 90 deg. drive if I had to. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Why not use a small 12V source just for the replacement tach. I would certainly not mess with a mechanical tach cable. Do you use any Radio and/or Transponder in this airplane?
If so, how are they powered? I think having a small battery would do the trick for a few hours of flight time and then you can recharge it over night. do not archive

I use a Tiny Tach in my RV4, works great. Lithium 20 years battery, hooks to the back of the mag switch and is very accurate. When it's not recieving a pulse from the mag it registers tach hours. Highly recommended.

You can do like me, make a hole in the tank and pass a aluminium tube one inch through the tank and put the rpm cable in the tube. The cable rpm come straight to instrument.
