How a Stihl EDT 8 Tachometer works and how to use it with a little chainsaw talk mixed in. If you want to see the EDT 8 in action go to the end of this video about chainsaws.

My wife wasn't impressed by the inductive tach, but she did comment on how nicely your garage was arranged and how well you keep your equipment including a 10 year old chainsaw.

that's awesome that your deal turn screws for free. I took mine back to the dealer they had to adjust the mixture and they gave me I've $35 bill.

Have been looking for the older EDT 7 because of it's simplicity. Now I see from your video that the EDT 8 is just as good. Thank you for the video.

Great video. I am a huge believer in CRC 556/Briggs& Stratton Lube Spray to loosen all manner of things, rather than brute force in the first instance. A little spray and 5 minutes (ie patience) saves breakages and time in the long run. Cheers and KEEP SAFE at all times Dude. From Down Under. JP PS: Hope you use PPE on the job my friend.

the L speed screw adjusts the air fuel ratio at idle, and helps provide enough fuel for proper acceleration. The high speed screw adjusts air fuel ratio at fuel throttle. If you don't understand how to tune a saw by ear, or in the cut, a tachometer can be a valuable tool. However you can never dial in the tuning by simply tuning to a set rpm.

WRONG!!........High Screw controls the RPM limit only!!........you SET based on that......there is no "mixture" for High Side......You are setting based on the Manufacturer's Max RPM.....preferably a tad less.
@Andyshine774 жыл бұрын
@@94SexyStang The rpm limit on saws without a revlimiting coil at wide open throttle, is controlled by the amount of fuel allowed by the high speed mixture. What do you think that screw does? it controls the amount of fuel at fuel throttle. Every saw do to manufacture variances will reach proper air fuel ratio at a different rpm, tuning to the manufactures recommended rpm is safe, but you will leave performance on the table, and 9 times out of ten the engine will be tuned rich. Before you state something as fact, or say someone is wrong, at least do modicum amount of research on the subject, as you clearly do not even know the basics of how a small engine carburetor works.

@@94SexyStang ?? Really? Lean mixture clockwise turn of high screw will increase rpm and counter clockwise richening will lower rpm, the h screw has no connection or effect on the venturi butterfly throttle opening!

Can it be used as a tach on a two stroke boat engine?
@ThePete18912 жыл бұрын
My guess would be it could be used on any motor the ignites fuel with a sparkplug. So gasoline, mixed with oil, or not. Also propane, Alcohol, Nat Gas, whatever. There may be a way to use with diesal too, I don't know where you would hook it up though. I have a tach I got off eBay, and I been using them for at least 10 years. They cost between 8, and $20. This looks like a very nice unit, and I may consider one depending on cost. If it runs over $25, I'll stick with my $8 model. They last about 5years, as the battery is not changeable. Though I have changed them in a couple. You can pop them open and swap it, and tape back up but they don't last an additional 5 years. Others they dip the entire electronics in epoxy, so if you manage to open it up, it is destroyed by swapping battery out. The cheaper ones seem easier to get at the battery. After 5 years, it is easier just to buy another. One thing that is too bad, is that the cheapies are also hour meters. So you know how many hours you've ran. I guess becuase of this, there is no way to turn the unit off. It is just on for 5years.

Hi, nice vid about the edt 8, just purchased one myself to tune my ms 361, worked fine for 4 minutes or so and then the display showed me "none" and the edt 8 switched off by itself and now i can't make it work again, tried to hold it against the running chainsaw expecting it to turn back on again but nothing happened, do you perhaps know how to make the edt8 work again, i can't find the anwer on Google or anywhere else, many thanks in advance......Arnaud , the Netherlands

***** I bought it on Ebay at a Stihl dealer in Germany, might be difficult to get a replacement, i'll send him an email anyway. I got the idle rpm adjusted in time before it switched off and that was actually the main reason for buying the tach......many thanks for your quick response, it's much appreciated and i'll be checking your videos now and then.....

They don't make these anymore. No demand for them. Find one that shuts off and you can replace batteries ( hardly any). The best one nowadays is the fast tach or tiny tach. The wired induction that you attach to the ignition cable is by far the best and more accurate. American made and has an hour meter. Good quality. You pay a bit more for it but wired is the best way to go.
