Work Shop Tach question 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
I have seen a number of posts regarding what hand held tach to use on our bikes. Many have stated that a coil proximity type is better than wire induction. My question, I believe, relates to both.

Should the tach read double the actual RPM (due to waste spark.)

Also, I was wondering about the value of a wire induction type for troubleshooting misfire within a specific cable.
Any thoughts?

I cant remember the specific model but I think I saw one (on Amazon) that had both wire induction and coil proximity capability.
