Just a heads up to any whom might be using the IK2000 for their RPM.
When I purchased my IK2000 I was told that I could use the Light Speed II ignition as a source for the tach thereby not having to purchase the separate tach sensor.
I was getting my prop balanced the other day when the mechanic said that our RPM readings didn?t agree. Yup, the IK2000 is reading 300-400 rpm LOW!
Contacted IK and they said they had been aware of problems with the IK/LSE combo and to chart the rpm differences and send back the data box for reprogramming.
to me, running your engine at 300-400 rpm higher than your tach is indicating as a safety concern and am very disappointed that IK didn?t notify its users when the problem was 1st discovered.
I am definitely not a happy camper!
I guess the morale of the story is to always check your indicated rpm against a calibrated system.
