This tuning support is included in the mandatory $250.00 pre-programming and technical support fee you will see in our kit prices.
We pre-calibrate your transmission controller according to your tire size and gear ratio as close as possible before we send you the controller, and after you get your truck running, we plan on helping you learn how to use the laptop computer to datalog the transmission shifting and receive edited calibrations from us via e-mail. You will need a laptop computer to work together with us to get the final shift tuning just right or load different calibrations into the controller.

This adjustable instrument consists of a precision ball governor and a micro switch enclosed in a small sealed housing. This adaptor will thread onto either the magneto or the tachometer and allows for routing the drive cable where there is limited space. If you wish to use a mechanical tachometer on your engine but your current magneto does not have a tach drive, Don Zig can add one to it.Ĩ000 RPM Tachometer P/N 5104.700-8400 $534.00ġ2000 RPM Tachometer P/N 5104.1000-12000 $534.00 For parts & tachs contact: Schulze Manufacturing Inc. You must have a provision on the base of the magneto for a cable hook up or fabricate a drive from the cam or crank. Because they have no electrical parts that can become saturated and fail do to the electromagnetic radiation associated with magnetos they are ideally suited for use on engines using magnetos.
Jones Mechanical Tachometers are extremely accurate instruments of the highest precision and are manufactured to aircraft quality standards.
