Yes, Chuck, you can install a tach., and a good idea, too.<br /><br />You need a tach that is adjustable for one pulse per rev from a magneto. <br /><br />I need more details of your setup to tell you exactly how to install it.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . . <br />JB :)

Hi, Chuck. Oh, stuff like, is it electric start, tiller or remote. Stuff like that. The instructions that will come with your tach may cover everything you need to know. If not, let us know.<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . . <br />JB :)
