I am coming to the final stages of a temperature measuring, rev counter and stop watch display which is run from an ARDUINO micro computer. I am measuring 5 different temperatures around the carburettor, manifold, fuel line and ambient in an aid to find out why the carb seems to "vaporise" under certain conditions. All going OK so far and am about to try to measure engine speed using a Hall Effect sensor with its 5 gram magnet attached to the inside of the camshaft pulley.
Any comment as to wether this would cause any undue inbalance. I could mount a second magnet opposite which would help to balance things I suppose.
A final stage of development is to add a similar device to the rev counter onto the prop shaft to get road speed.
