NOTE: Some engines, such as multi-cylinder outboards generate considerable electronic "noise" and may require a light filter to assure a clear RPM reading. You will find a "comments" section at the end of the order page where you can tell us about your engine – what kind and how many cylinders it has – so that we can make any necessary adjustments. One year warranty Note: This will not work with a shielded ignition harness or lead. |
Loved this little tach. Easy to read located just below my MGL COLOR AIRSPEED INDICATOR/VSI (BLAZE SERIES) and with the compass next to it I have all the info I need for my ultralight flying.

Worked very well- fast shipping. Wound highly recommend to others Thanks R. B.
Great product
Replacement for my old Tiny Tach. Battery finally gave out. 5 yrs old.
The battery in my first Tiny Tach lasted from 1998 until 2015. Results may vary.
A terrific little powerhouse of a device. I used mine to help troubleshoot issues with tach indications on my OpenFlight EFIS from a Rotax 912 UL. Great for that usage, since it measures RPM in a completely different manner. The unit I received from Spruce [special order, with a longer antenna wire] was defective. Fantastic support from the manufacturer, who helped me troubleshoot and ultimately shipped me a new unit free or charge. GREAT EXPERIENCE.
My Tiny Tach on my Starflight Ultralight with a Rotax 377 just died due to battery failure. It has been on the craft for about 20 years and until today was working great. I am disappointed that the battery is not replaceable (anyone know a hack?) but otherwise have been very happy with it and will replace it with the same.
My tach has been in service for 4 years now and its still working well. I have a Lyc TIO540AF1B. We did have to cut a small opening in the shielding and then wound 10 turns over that opening (instructions recommended 3). It hasnt missed a beat since. Beats an optical tach as they dont work at night.
If you are building an experimental and would like to use this device, DO NOT buy it until the last days of your build. The battery only lasts 5 years and is NOT replaceable. After that, its a Tiny Boat anchor.

Yes, it will.

This comes standard with a 6 ft lead. Longer leads are available but they are special order. Please contact our sales department for pricing and lead time of a custom length lead on the TT2A.
You will want to set the Tiny Tach to 2 sparks per revolution.
This has two wires. One goes around a spark plug wire and the other grounds to the engine.
No, however you can special order the tiny tach with a custom length cable. Please contact our sales team for custom quote.
It should as long as the ignition harness isn't shielded.
