I used a regulator designed for the stator I use in my engines (polaris twin two cylinder stator)but I bought one for an electric start model so it has the dc out-recitfied from the stators ac)-- So, I would look for an oem rotax regulator/rectifier from another engine/model that uses the 593 engine...

OK, so I was NOT running the latest app, am running it now but still had the same result. My channel for engine temp already had no space so I changed it to have a space just to try something, loaded a file on notepad and made the same change there, saved it and imported again onto the app. It will ...

success finally !

We finally found an easy answer for two strokes with ac magneto ignitions--installing a regulator/rectifier on our ac magneto output gives us a regulated dc output wire which when hooked directly to the RCP pulse channel gives us what appears in the shop to be a useable tach signal. The pulse count ...

The ignition is driven by a separate coil on the coil plate behind the magneto. I know the voltage output of the ignition primary coil can be well above 500vac at times. it uses a vr sensor as the trigger for the cdi which I know you dont reccomend using for a pulse input so I may be stuck having to...

Hi Brent, as stated in my post its a 6 pulse ac signal produced from the magneto like most all two strokes have. the connection is directly to the stator/magneto output. I have the signal good at low rpm but it freezes at 3800 rpm and higher.

is this just a sample rate issue maybe?

RCP MK2 two stroke tach signal issues

Hi all, using our RCP for the first time this weekend in our hydroplane. Have been learning what we can in the shop and are having issues with our tach signal--its steady at idle but anything above idle it freezes the tach display number---the signal is an ac magneto signal 6 pulse is my setting as ...

howdy from a couple of Washington hydroplane racers!

Howdy all, we have purchased the RCP and will be configuring it to work in our two stroke three cylinder powered hydroplane race boat. Really excited to be working with this platform and I'm sure we'll have a ton of questions. For now, I'll absorb all I can from the forum before driving you all nuts...
