Will have one here tomorrow that say it will work on 2 stroke 3 cylinder as well as others. Not the exact one you posted but from the same family.

Yes sir. I seen them 2 for $19.95 yesterday. Lol
It’s got several settings including 2 stroke 3 cylinder . I just have to figure out the instructions. I messed with it for a few minutes earlier and couldn’t set anything. I’m going to study the instructions tonight instead of trying to rush through them.
Ran the engine some with the new tachometer. It seems to work well. I’ll know when I get on the lake.
Danced all around 800. I’d rev it a little and it would come down to around 780 or so then back to 800. I’m going to the lake tomorrow. I’ve lowered the trim by one notch which with the boat sitting level has it just a little low of 90 degrees. About the same as the upper notch putting the motor a little above 90 degrees.
I spent 5 hours on the lake today. This tachometer only shows 2700rpms at wot like the other one. All most 3000 at one point. I confirmed I had it set for 2 cycle 3 cylinder 5 wraps around the first spark plug wire still neat and tight.Motor was running good. According to the app on my iPhone I was doing 27 mph. Rough water. Wind blew harder than expected today. I was figuring around 30mph because I’ve watched a lot of videos of guys running 40 hp motors on boats smaller than mine and reaching 35mph and up. One guy hit 40. Mines extra wide and heavy. But sturdy I stopped in several places and caught some bass. The boat fished great in the rough water with the trolling motor on the bow. I still must have something set wrong. After fishing the motor was hard to start. Some times it would start and kick hard enough to turn the motor to the side then the rpms level down to idle and it would be okay. Occasionally idle rough. I went to the dock and tied off. With the motor idling I turned the first pilot screw 1/4 turn out waited a minute and no change so I went another 1/4 waited and still no change. Then I tried the same turning it in and still no change. Did the same thing with the other 2 pilots and no change the idle stayed a little rough. I shut the motor off and put all three pilots back to 1 1/2 turn out from bottom. Started first pull and idles smooth again. But every time I’d stop and fish awhile it would take several pulls and choking before it would start and it would have that one hard hit as soon as it starts sometimes killing the motor. Never a problem at wot all day though.
It’s set on 3p1r as per the instructions. The cable is ran straight down the opposite side of the rest of the plug wires, and coils, and all other electrical. I had my worries about it being close to the fuel lines but wanted away from any other electrical stuff. Here’s a picture of the different settings. Which one do you think I should try to get my true readings?
Thanks for the reply. I’ve just completely rebuilt the carburetors. All three pilots are open 1 1/2 turn. Should I open them another 1/4 or 1/2 and run it to see what happens? I’ve tried adjusting them with the engine warmed up and idling at the dock. I’d make a turn and wait a minute or so but couldn’t tell any difference in the idle so I put them all back to 1 1/2 but I still have that hard kick some times.
