[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 156398, member: 1179"] FYI to the Capn video. I didn't realize tach's were so different. Gl tach's turn 4 times the cable speed. Most Kawi and Yami's turn 5 times. Then there's the cable end to figure. But assuming the cable ends were the same, his readings are inflated 5/4 or 125%. His 9000 rpm is really 7200. And with my admittedly poor ear that's about what it sounds like. Not like I couldn't have made the same mistake. Personally, I don't like to engage in forum bashing. Forums can be a life blood to us who wish to learn more. A little friendly banter can turn into a flame war in a short time and, although it gives the forums higher readership numbers, it makes the forum less appealing to me. That said, I can't help but think Saunders is set up for the 1800 crowd first, 1500 second. To them the old four cylinders are not their interest anymore. It's a big enough forum and it has to be a pretty big job to monitor it all and they must have been happy to have the Capn take over that part for them. I can't help but think that the Capn probably pays a substantial amount to them as a donor/ contributor. The other moderators there seem to come in with the threat of removing posts when it turns ugly, but leave his. He quickly turns to suck-up mode in his responses. It has been interesting to watch his styles change over the years. [/QUOTE]
