    Angry how to convert elecric rev counter from 8cyl to 4

    hi i have a rav 4 that im in middle of converting to run on lpg hence i joined club but im also motorcyle fanatic and its a problem with my bike i could do with help on ive fitted a rev counter of a 750 to my 1100 kawasaki but it reads twice as fast as it should that is at 1000 actual rpm it is showing 2000 and i figure reason is to do with ignition system because they both run on the wasted spark princible but 750 has 4 cyl. 4 plugs two twin out let coils and fires every rev of engine where as the 1100 has 4 cyl. 8 plugs and 4 twin out let coils but as i take the rev counter feed off one of coils it fires twice as many impulses as i need so is there something i can wire into rev counter lead that would filter out every other spark impulse any help or point in right direction would be very much apreciated

    send it to an instrument repairer to have it recalibrated

    I used the Jaycar digital speedo adjuster to correct the tacho in a Silvia fitted with an RB20DET. I had to reduce the tacho signal coming from the computer by 1/3 and it worked like a charm once I was able to get the imput signal filtered/conditioned correctly.
