Today's Cars and Coffee Honda N600 adventure

Mark P Hatten · Post by **Mark P Hatten** » Sat Sep 07, 2013 10:07 pm

This is my red rocket, a early 1970 Honda N600 unsynchronized. I found it in sad shape. I have resurrected it from a neglected, picked over parts car, another words, it was a car that was picked for parts and left for dead. It took a few years and I got it going. Sorting it out once driving it had some issues. Starting and charging electrical issues. Then one day an unfortunate electrical fire broke my heart. I got back on the horse and rewired almost everything. It's now back! This week, I got it ready for a weekly Portland area Cascade Cars and Coffee, one of four now happening every Saturday from 8-11am. My young daughter joins me for an escapade away from mom.

Mark, nice job saving the sedan. Was looking at your tach readings at 45mph in 4th it was 1,500 then you down shifted to 3rd and it jumped to 3,000 then jumped around alot as you reved it up.
What are you getting the tach signal from, readings don't seem right.

Lyle you are very observant ! I'm not happy with this Harbor Freight tachometer, it jumps around a lot. I'm saving up for a 2" Autometer tachometer that should be more precise.

Mark;
I was given a digital engine tachometer " Stihl tack (DET 303) " from Harry Lineback. The company that sold it is D&D Tool and Supply, 1028 Buenos Ave. San Diego CA.
92110-3927. Clip it to the spark plug lead and it will give you a digital readout. A very easy to use tool.

hi Bill yes the tachometer with the spark plug lead is the best for Honda 600 and other 1 cylinder 2 cylinder 2 stroke four stroke Micro cars it is basically a motorcycle pick up type tachometer currently ebay has analog versions of this for about 20 dollars I plan to order one and try it out Thanks mark To: 2cylinderhondas@yahoogroups.com; anzhonda600owners-owner@yahoogroups.com
