Anybody who installed a slickstart and also has a electronic tach (which  probably is everybody.)The installation instructions for the SLICKSTART wants it wired thru the left mag and comments  that any electronics tachs should therefore be wired thru the RIGHT mag. The problem is that my ELECTRONICS INT"l tach instructions has me wiring to both P leads both left and right. Anyone experience this? Don Pfeiffer

Don,



I tried the "P lead" hookup without much success.

I ended up going with a "Signal Generator" from Aircraft Spruce.

Screws on your existing tach drive and a simple 2 wire hookup.

Solves a lot of headaches..

Readout is plus or minus 3 rpm...

About $70.00

I have GRT EFIS and slick start. I installed resistors in both circuits then into a spdt switch then to GRT EIS. Works great on either mag position.

I have exactly the same as Wayne except I skipped the switch and wired them both into the GRT EIS. The EIS automatically shows whatever is wired to #1 unless it's zero (as during mag check) in which case it goes to #2 (and shows "#1 RPM failed" message or something like that.

I went with the solution that puts a sensor into one of the two mags.  I 

forget the details.... and whether it operates when the mag is switched off.



Why?  Because I no longer look for a mag drop as a mag check. Rather, 

with a GRT EFIS and EIS I watch EGTs during the mag check. When one is 

switched off, all EGTs should rise.  If there is a problem with a plug 

or a cylinder, that EGT won't rise.
