Diesel tach June 07, 2021 12:58PM
May be a dumb question but I haven’t been able to find a good answer.
Is there a difference in a diesel tach vs a gas motor tach?
Besides the price difference.

Diesel tach typically works with magnetic pulse type sensors. Spark plug tachs, typically use ignition pulse signals from msd or other ignition devices.

Thanks. I’m just wondering if you can make it work or there’s
No way to make it work

You can certainly use a magnet pickup senor (usually a Hall effect) on a spark ignited engine. The advantage is that In addition to sensing RPM they can determine crank angle as well.

There is a company out there that has a box that can adapt a mag pickup single into a signal a gas tach can use.
