A tachometer - preferably an instrument with a fine scale (0-3000rpm, say) - can be useful for tuning the carburettor. When it is connected to the coil, the slightest twist of the mixture-adjustment screw alters the engine speed. To adjust the mixture, set the screw to give the highest possible rpm consistent with the smooth running of the engine.
