Best Answer

A tachometer works the same on almost all cars exept motorcycles.

Now first you need to know what a camshaft is. If you don't search it on Google.

The RPM's or Rotations Per Minute,

Are the rotations your camshaft makes.

Quick extra: your cranckshaft rotates twice as fast as your camshaft makes.

So when you are revving at 3000 rpm your cranckshaft wil rotate at 6000 rpm.

Will an autometer number 19304 tachometer work on a 20hp Kohler twin engine?

A tachometer works by measuring how many time a spark plug fires. If the tachometer is designed to determine the rpm of an 8 cylinder engine it will not show the correct speed of a 2 cylinder engine. If I remember correctly if the tachometer designed for an 8 cylinder is used on a 4 cylinder engine it will show twice the number of actual rpm. So an 8 cylinder tachometer used on a 2 cylinder engine will show 4 times the actual rpm of the 2 cylinder engine. If you check around there are special tachometers designed for 2 cylinder engines.
