better than i expected.

This gauge is an exact replica of the gauge I believe came with this 8n. It works well and everything is better than I expected. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • flimsy

Poor quality control

Right out of the box I can see that the quality control is very poor. The dial is off-center and looks silly. I don't expect this to work, but I'll try.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not satisfied with everything

Do Not Buy - Electrical

Do Not Buy. The tachometer does not show the correct speed. I installed it with a new cable. I have tested the DB electrical tach against a calibrated S&W mechanical tach and it is MUCH OFF. At 800 rpm. This is a cheap imported note that I do not recommend.

Pros
  • Stable Test Results
Cons
  • Lots

NOT SO ORIGINAL FOR 8N!

The Proofmeter looks good and works like a tachometer. for a few minutes (that's all I ran) BUT THE HOUR METER IS NOT mechanically controlled like the original in 8N and requires an additional connection to the battery to function.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Modern

Good not great but there is a way to make it better

So this review is more about how to make it better and extend its lifespan. 1. You will need to inspect the sensor for defects on the top edge of the threads where the cable coils, make sure you remove the o-ring first [see fig photo #1] and then clean the edge with a razor knife or a razor blade to be leveled and filed [see. Photo #2, 3] 3. Remove dust and replace the original O-ring with a new O-ring [see Photo #4] 4. Screw the cable and check for slack by turning pull and push on the other…

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
