Tiny Tach question

What size transducer do I need to install a tiny tach? 6mm or 1/4"?

Someone already told me what the pulse # is.

Thanks

I forgot I had a digital caliper.

I went and measured and it looks closer to 1/4" (0.258) than 6mm (6.78).
So I'll order the 1/4" transducer.

????? What do you mean "1/4 inch transducer". You motor doesn't have a place for the tach sensor in the gear cover housing over the pump drive gear.?

You place the transducer to an injector line and it measures the pulses with tells the RPM's.

The injector line is closer to 1/4" than 6mm.
