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.

How is tachometer related to speed of vehicle?

The tachometer measures the number of revolutions the engine makes in a minute. This indirectly equates to the speed of the vehicle. Depending on the gear that the vehicle is in, you could determine speed with a tachometer.
