I WISH I knew where to find one, but my Brother-in-law had a small hand held gauge that has a 2" long rubber tipped shaft coming out of the 1" diameter guage. He'd touch it to the flywheel shaft of his various stationary/"one-lunger" engines for 10 seconds and then read the number of revs. Then he'd just multiply the reading by 6 to set his governor speeds. I'm sure that this little manual tach was picked up at an antique engine show. Possibly a full sized mechanical drive tach could be used the same way???

P.S.
(I'm real poor, and on SSI Disability, but if anyone out there has a one-lunger engine that is rough but restorable and close to Perry FL,{N.W. FL} I'd love to know about it)
