I don't "force" my advice on anybody so I was waiting for you to ask. Maybe I missed it in all the flack.

Sarris provided the official spec.; my guess is that you presently have it set in the 6-800 range
so it could be about half what it's supposed to be.

I used to set mine by ear and run it up until the thump-thump smoothed out to the point where
the individual strokes weren't evident. I think that is about the right point but never had it
checked to be sure.

If you find a clip-on inductive tach, just remember to set it for "double fire" or the tach will read
twice the actual RPM.......and you will still have it too low.
