i love my 328 EZ-TACH PLUS! Worth every penny!

[@killer2600]

It's interesting it read the mower correctly. The mowers I've worked with spark every revolution like a 2 stroke not every other revolution like a proper 4 stroke. I would have expected the reading to be double the actual value based on your settings.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Two cycle and four cycle ignition systems operate the same way it fires every revolution

[@still-DJ]

Great video. Thanks a lot, I'm off to order one right now.

[@craigtimmons3468]

I've had mine now about 2 years, only issues I have is 1: it doesn't have a recall to see what high and low's are 2: the battery seems to go dead rather quick when in storage, my fix is to just disconnect the battery. It's read every rpm range that I've put it too, up to 14'500rpm on my Husqvarna Cookie Cutter with no problems. A decent tach for the money.

[@kitchenbathdesigner]

Just got ours in the mail. Thanks for the review video! Very helpful!

[@mlxx4612]

Your going to break a window without that gard you know😄 This joking ,thanks for the video I have been looking for a tack just like that👍

[@riprob93]

Nice video with different equipment. Well done sir.👍

[@Willy7212]

Thanks I just bought one and now I don't need to read the instuctions. Good video.

[@chicagojoe5659]

Thank you Sir. Just received my zx Tach + plus .328 .your helpful video made it ez to understand and operate Because I couldn't read the very small print on the backside. My be getting old. Be Safe God Bless America

[@Jim-ie6uf]

I followed the link, price isn’t bad, A little less than the Tiny Tach, which only lasts for 4 or 5 years till the battery dies. It’s potted in the part, and not replaceable. Are you still liking it? If so, I’m gonna get one. Thanks, Jim

[@richardfote4083]

Nice tool. Mr. Fountain. Great. Demonstration. Of the tool. Thanks.

[@jonienglish3231]

Good Video - Themowermedic1 you should make another Video Comparison of Accuracy with 328 EZ Tach and the Cheap LASER optical Tachometer

[@corydriver7634]

Those crazy 7 cylinders will get you every time 🤓

[@aldricracette4813]

Lol

[@michaelwatkins8743]

Ordered one today good job thanks

[@bounjamin]

Thanks for recommendation. Looking for a tach so I don't burn my engines out when adjusting carb. Less expensive than a Stihl tach!

[@mynameistooey]

thanks for taking the time to create and post this video what is the model number of the Echo string trimmer in this video thanks keep up the good work

[@rodneybrand8521]

I have got to have one of those...check the connection at the LED screen on your old RPM meter you might be able to fix it Could be a little corrosion on the contacts..just a thought..Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@waynedouglas1010]

Nice Tach and good versatility for Autos and such...others won't do that

[@heavysnow8616]

I have been looking for a tach for a while. Thanks for the review, great job and video. Have a good weekend!

[@chrisgarland2272]

I have also been looking! Wasn’t crazy about the small black ones. This seems more professional like to me. Excited to get mine.

[@zyplex1]

bought one about 4 years ago, it works great. and battery is easy to replace

[@kevinhaley6776]

Got me a new tach Think i will test it out on everything in the shop

[@wtbm123]

Cool , looks like a nice tach

[@charlesday3373]

Hello, do you still recommend this tachometer? Thank you!

[@kaylamarie8309]

Nice..I'll be picking one of these up. Thanks! :-)

[@philliphall5198]

I like it but ok now When echo breaks I will get this one

[@jamesdoyle9220]

Mine must be an earlier model. When set to 4 stroke mode it gives the wrong reading on most small engines because they spark on both compression and exhaust strokes. I don’t understand how this unit can tell if the engine is a “wasted spark “ system or not.

[@samslade5396]

Just wondering.....since making this review how has the tachometer held up? Do you have any pro’s, and cons you can share? As usual an excellent video. I always enjoy your channel.

[@waynedouglas1010]

The only con I can see on this Tach is the flashlight...I would never use that unless I'm working in the black of night I guess. Otherwise nice Tach

[@ronniegibson8577]

How well does this work on an efi mower engine

[@topflight2358]

So why diff numbers when using with and with out cord ???

[@catdakman1273]

But why did you pay $ 699. for the new one???

[@sidwalker6902]

Where did you say you got it and cost? That would be a great addition.

How do you adjust the power or get more RPM on a Toro SmartStow mower. I bought one 2yrs ago and sold it recently. It worked perfectly fine. The reason I sold it was because I was thinking of getting a battery powered mower. After I realized that battery powered mowers don’t give as good of lift on the grass I was upset I already sold my Toro SmartStow. So I had to buy a new one. I got the same model, so nothing was different at all. When I got it home and out of the box, I started it up and quickly could tell the mower sounded lower in power. I took it back and got another one thinking maybe something was wrong with previous one. When I got the second one home it sounded the same as the previous one. Not sure what Toto did but they obviously lowered the RPMs. I would like to get a little more power back in the mower. Are you able to help me with this? I have no understanding of all these moving parts. I did manage to take the cover off of it and move this flat disc or turn it and heard the mower get louder. So I am a handy person. Just not sure about all these moving parts and exactly what to do. Please let me know if there is a way we can talk. I am getting this Tachometer by the way. Thanks for sharing this item. Looked all over for one. Thanks

[@killer2600]

Gotta say if two different samples of identical things behave identically then they probably are working as intended. Your old mower was probably out of spec or just worn leading to sounding different than a brand new model.

[@bounjamin]

I wouldn't recommend increasing the RPMs on this without knowing the specifications. Probably good to use a tachometer too.

[@fmrperformance7774]

Will it work for 3 cylinder 2 stroke

[@mooch91]

Questionable accuracy for me. Measuring a 1-cylinder, 4-stroke mower I get anywhere from 3200 - 4000 rpm using the lead.

[@nickmclaren3898]

I bought an identical looking tachometer in the UK to set my lawn mower RPM (Briggs and Stratton 450) I set it to 4 STR/1 CYL but it was reading double what it should and I can't figure out why, any ideas? It sounded right for 3000 RPM, but I had to set the tach to 6000 to make it sound right. Thanks for the video!

[@killer2600]

The 4 stroke 1 cylinder setting counts 2 rpm/revolutions per spark. Typical single cylinder small engines as found on lawn mowers spark every revolution (like a 2 stroke). So your reading twice as many rpms because the mismatch in how the 4 stroke 1 cylinder setting counts and how frequently your mower sparks. The 2 stroke 1 cylinder or 4 stroke 2 cylinder settings should give you the correct rpm reading.

[@nickmclaren3898]

@@killer2600 Thanks. I thought that must be the case after reading a bit more about it or mine had been calibrated differently for some reason. So why does yours read correctly on the 4str/1cyl setting when attached to your lawnmower? Surely lawnmower engines aren't different in the U.S.? or is it as you said, that different engines spark more times than others? and where do you find out how often your lawnmower sparks? Thanks again.

[@killer2600]

@@nickmclaren3898 I'm not the video creator but I asked the same question about the lawn mower in another comment. Right now my theory is the tach in the video is defective. Less obvious but the same issue may be going on with the car demo. Unless it's picking up all 6 spark plug pulses, the reading should be incorrect. So I'm puzzle like you, but on a positive note your tach appears to be working correctly.

[@nickmclaren3898]

Killer2600 Thanks very much for your reply, it’s good to hear my tach is okay.

[@larryfine4498]

Because some of the small engines fire off the crankshaft, not the camshaft, they fire on the compression and exhaust stroke, doubling the RPMs you're reading.

[@topflight2358]

when someone says this has bad lag time , what are they saying ??

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Means they don’t know how to Use it

[@3480cableguy]

Setting should be 2:1 on a single cylinder four stroke mower. Not 4:1

[@deandean8498]

Where do you buy stihl parts

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Blue mountain equipment

[@WV591]

3200 is way too much for older mowers. 2900-3000 is safer.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

WV591 that’s odd, the factory spec is 3250.
