Inexpensive handheld tach?

dentheman · 04-01-2012, 12:10 AM

I am looking for an inexpensive hendheld tach just to check the idle speed on my V-twin. I found a cheap volt/tach/dwell meter that has alligator clips, but it is for 4/6/8 cylinders, so I don't know if it would work on two cylinders. And where would the clips connect to? I haven't worked on a car engine since the 70's, and never on a motorcycle engine, so I am confused by the different 'modern' handheld tachs shown on-line.

Any suggestions?
