The mechanical distributor typically operates at half the engine speed in a four-stroke engine with a conventional ignition system. Therefore, if the engine is running at 1000 RPM, the mechanical distributor would generally be at 500 RPM. This assumes a direct relationship between the engine speed and the distributor speed, which is common in many setups.
Depends on the engine that is turning 1,000 rpm's. A larger engine develops way more horsepower than a small engine at 1,000 rpm's.
anywhere from 800 to 1000 RPM.
rev the engine to about 2500 rpm's and turn the distributor until you find that sweet spot.
Engine speed is sensed via pick-up coils in the distributor. This information is sent to the ECM and used to determine crankshaft position and engine rpm. The fault could be in the cluster / tachometer, distributor, or wiring.
It is a device that can be mechanical or computerized that limits the engine's RPM. If you take it off make sure that you don't over rev the engine that it was on.
RPM is the abbreviation for revolutions per minute and is a measurement of the revolutions of the engine crankshaft. Literally, if your "RPMs stop working" your motor isn't running. However, you are probably referring to the tachometer, the meter that displays the number of rpm's your engine turns, that has stopped working. There are two basic types of tachometers: electrical and mechanical. Electrical tachometers calculate the engine speed by counting electrical pulses while the mechanical tachometers have a mechanical cable attaching to the engine, generally the ignition distributor or camshaft. So, if your tachometer is not working you have either have an electrical problem, a broken cable or the meter itself has become defective.
i had the same problem when i replaced my old engine with a new one the distributor needs to be calibrated with the number 1 spark plug
In a twin-cylinder four-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes one full rotation for every two strokes of the pistons. Since the crankshaft is turning at 1000 RPM, the camshaft, which is typically driven by the crankshaft at half that speed, will turn at 500 RPM. Thus, the camshaft in this engine will be rotating at 500 RPM.
Disconnect the battery and then reconnect it. This wipes the engines ecu memory and the engine needs to relare thing. So if you allow the engine to idle at about 1000 rpm it will stay that way.
Assuming there are no DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) I would go back to basic tune-up procedures like spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor and base timing. A check for vacuum leaks also.
