This analyzer will monitor:
1- rpm's
2- monitor engine timing
3- measure oil pressure
4- measure starting amp's
5- monitor charging system (AC & DC)
6- measure intake air flow for making air/fuel adjustments
7- sample exhaust for making air/fuel adjustments
Some time ago I bought a 1959 UNI-VERSEL UNILOADER. It has a V4 air cooled Wisconsin engine model VH4D. I rebuilt the loader over the past summer, and it works very good.
In the proses of tuning the engine it occurred to me why not build a engine analyzer for this engine, and maybe bring the ignition system up to date. It all so has a built in alternator in the flywheel, and the old style rectifier/regulator.
I want to design this analyzer around a basic stamp2 module. I believe the BS2 is more processor than I need, but think it will work very well for this project.
In the near future I'll post some schematics to ponder over.
Also some preliminary programing code in PBASIC.
