I installed a rev counter for a Kubota diesel engine & fitted the magnet to the steel power steering pump pulley ( same size as the crank pulley, but MUCH easier access) & it works fine. I glued the first one on, but the counter didn't work - dumbo didn't realise the pickup is pole sensitive
. Second one is just held by it's own magnetism & has been fine for the last 18 mths (isn't it amazing how these temporary bodges become permanent?)

I have one a cheap Chinese tacho on my lathe. It worked well for a couple of weeks then stopped. After trying various things, including getting a spare pickup from the eBay seller. I discovered that turning the magnet over fixed the problem
About 4 months ago it died again (after 7 years) and I've not yet tried to fix it.
My magnet is also held in place by the power of thought

Mount the magnet to, or in the cam gear. No need to make it spark twice as much as needed.
