Thanks for the info Michael. I had sent the tacho to them and they said
they could not determine what the gear ratio (?) of the broken spur gear is
so they advised me to send it to a shop in Virginia Beach, who subsequently
said they couldn't help me and sent the tacho back to mel I have installed
You should be able to get an hour meter which is turned on by the Bosch W
(tacho) terminal on the alternator.
Alternatively, if your alternator doesn't have a W terminal what about a
vibration sensor switch? They are cheap... Check out HERE
I would explore a tee fitting for the existing oil pressure sender so you
could add an oil pressure switch (most of these close with four pounds of
pressure) wired to a Hobbs meter. I would sign it off as a minor
alteration, especially since it is a non-certified engine.
Might be fun to learn how
Thank you for the information, Michael.
I had sent the tacho to them and they returned it with a message that they
couldn't fix it but to try the shop in Virginia Beach...who also said sorry.

Further to my last email, I forgot to mention that the electronic hour
meters don't slow down at low revs like the mechanical VDO one does. If you
do a lot of taxying this can add up considerably.
It is best to install a seperate hour meter which is connected to an air
switch on the ASI line.
Consider buying an electric tacho designed for a diesel engine. Very cheap
from boating shops.
They connect to the alternator terminal which will be labeled P T S or W
depending on the brand. Bosch is W.
If your alternator does not have one of these terminals you need to remove
the back plastic
