On that note, anyone use an aftermarket tach?  Any recommendations?

Look at the Dynon EMS system for one. JPI also has one with a bunch of bells

and whistles. It reports as rpm though not as % rpm. I have talked to tech

support at Dynon about this. According to them, it is a simple software

change but not enough people have asked for it for them feel it might be of

benefit.

Also check with West London Aeroclub in England. I thought I saw a tach

drive generator on their website. 

But before you press off buying a new generator, have you looked to see if

you have a broken wire in the sim plug? That is the most common cause for

Tach Drive Generators to fail.

Check out the HORIZON tach.  They can set it up for what ever you want.

Doc suggestion is a very good choice.  If you're looking  for JUST a tach, take a look at the Horizon Instruments P-1000 tach.   You can order it configured to you needs.  Just installed one in a CJ with  an M14.

Doc - already tried the cannon plug.  I pulled the tach gen off and the shaft no longer turns the guts. 



Dennis & Fran - The horizon can be set up for %?

I was first introduced to the Horizon Tach several years ago when I installed an M14P in the "Super Pickle".  Since then I have come to know the company pretty well as they have programmed a couple of 337 tachs for the stock Housai for us.  It's a great product with super customer support.  It is a good diagnostic tool, very readable, and very reliable.  The gauges are STC's for other applications.  



For a stand alone replacement, I'm not aware of a product that comes close.  And for about the same money as a tach generator, you get a solid state replacement that is dead nuts simple to wire (off the P-leads at the mag switch).



FWIW,



Barry

Yes.  The factory will do that for you.

I second that suggestion. I have the Horizon tach in my 52 and  have been very pleased with it. a digital indication for mag drop and you can  get the indicator lights set for max continuous which provides a good "idiot"  light for rpm while flying formation.

West London Aero Club Russian Engineering has them listed on their website

if you want to stay orginal.

I have a mix in my pane. The Dynon and the steam gauges mixed. In the 50,

the AS indicator is perfect for snap shots on final as is the % RPM. For a

snap shot, the position of a needle on a dill works better for me than tapes

and digital printouts. Now if I had the bucks to project the info on Beveled

Glass on the windscreen AKA HUD, well then the steam gauges would be gone.
