I have been wanting to change the tach on my 800cc joyner but didnt realize how difficult it was to find a tach compatible with 3 cylinders. I have read on this board somewhere that someone used the autometer phantom series with some success, but I think it is still designed for 4,6,8 cyl. What are others using?

I came across this tach by iEquus. It sounds to be promising and shouldnt break the bank. Anyone else try one.

These are both dash mount tachs. And you can chose from 1-12 cylinders on the Iequus and 3,4,6 on the glow shift. I had the Glowshift first, lasted 2ish years now am running the second from Jcwhitney / Iequus. I think they both carry indash also, Same tach. Both range between $30-50.

Summit also makes an odd cylinder tach with shift light built in.

I use the SunPro 5". It will set up for any cylinder combo of 2-12.
It's not weatherproof though.

Hey guys I also got some questions about wiring tach to our 3 cyl...

I picked up this sunpro 31/2 inch off of Ebay. It can be set from 2-10 cyl. It was a steal only $35 and free shipping:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sunpro-3-1-2-inch-Preformance-Tachometer-T ach-CP2012_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33679QQihZ008QQitemZ180224220428QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZW DVW

theres still 3 left...

anyway I received it yesterday and hooked it up. I set it for three cyl, put green wire on coil neg side, wired the red and white to a switch and black to the ground point by the horn. The tach will come on and I can set the shift light and everything, but when I start the engine I get nothing, no movement at all. I dont get it why wont it work... do need a 'filter' for the signal or something?

Not sure why but on mine also only the + side of the coil will give a signal to the tach. Try that.
