Well title says it all, i run my sensor off the sprocket adaptor and well the bloody wheel off it fell off.
Can i get a magnetic sensor and re-wire it into my system and still get my blade clocks to work. Some one mentioned a pulse jobbie or somthing like that.

Get one of the sensors that bolt into the block of the injection engine.

Two magnets on the prop or sprocket adaptor.

One yellow box.

And that's it.

I'm told (and under the impression) that any "hall effect" sensor will work as long as it has a pulsed 5v output to the yellow box.

We did bench test the 'Blade speedo with a "standard" 12v proximity sensor and it worked fine. Which was surprising, because when we tested the output of the original rotary type sprocket sensor it gaver a really wierd waveform, but what the heck!
So get one and point it at the driveshaft bolt heads!
