tls pilot Posted Thursday at 05:10 PM Report Posted Thursday at 05:10 PM (edited) The original RPM gauge stopped working after landing. Does anyone know the area where this connects to the engine? Also has anyone used a portable tachmeter inside the plane and if so which one? Spruce sells one for $300.00 Thanks Edited Thursday at 05:11 PM by tls pilot
N201MKTurbo Posted Thursday at 05:20 PM Report Posted Thursday at 05:20 PM I think this tach has a tach generator. I would check the connectors and wiring. The generator will be mounted on the back of the engine.

Fritz1 Posted Friday at 03:58 PM Report Posted Friday at 03:58 PM On the bravo engine tach pickup is mounted to bottom of the right mag if memory serves, maybe broke off or loose, there is a panel mounted certified RPM gauge that has LEDs, have seen that in Bravos as a patch after the Moritz gauge died and also in Eagles that have the 310hp 2700 RPM STC
