well i get 5 star yami from school
already joined amtech, looking into abyc corrosion
we learn honda,yami,volvo,suzi,merc,mercuriser

so probably will end up at a yami place because of the 5 star, but will work on i/o also

5 star is an absolute joke.
takes 20 min max to achive 5 star any more an either your a cave man or an idiot.
what school are you in ?

Re: Will cheap multimeter work with a DVA peak voltage adapter?

MMI (marine mechanics)
we used to get all certified for all engines but the manufactures cut that out now

i want to go suzi or honda, it is evry hard to find a suzi tech

Re: Will cheap multimeter work with a DVA peak voltage adapter?

both are decent brands.
but as you progress in the school remember thay all work the same.
you will need to learn how to use oxy/acytylene or your sunk.
I dont have a lot of late model experience with honda or suzuki but in the past I was certified in both.
if ya wish start another post for starting techs.
or keep this one running.

The TA-100 smart tach is a handy tool and the KV meter with it will find a faulty ignition problem very quickly like Rodbolt says.

I've used one for about 5 years and its great. It does have probelms reading the 4-stroke 4-cyl. Yamaha/Merc engines, but works fine on Suzuki and other Yam 4-strokes.

ESI has a protable tach for just over $100 that works well also.
