I had the tach calibrated on my "new" Tiger -- it was incorrect by a large
margin.
I probably hadn't pushed the car much past 2,500--3,000 RPMs, not knowing the
true RPM's
and guessing.
Now the tach is accurate to 4400 RPM's with a little error at higher
ranges...
Point being, the ancient (original factory) 260 with F4b and a carb to suit
has a whole lot more power
than I thought, when pushed towards the red.
The stock 260 motors may not be competitive with built 289's and 302's but
they do well, well enough anyway
to hold up the Tiger's legend.
