how many times does each spark plug fire per revolution? i have a temp tach to check my rpm with 2 different props and to set the tack is says you need to know how many times 1 spark plug fires per revolution. its a 3 cyl 2 stroke engine so since i am not too bright i dont know how many times each plug fires per revolution. any info is greatly appreciated.

Don't know if this helps but I think that the tach setting has nothing to do with the # of cylinders, but rather how many coils are on the stator under the flywheel...

Two stroke motors fire once every revolution. Four strokes every other rev.
