Thats the general idea!

Finally got round to creating the bit of loom for this using the diodes, bit of a mission to get it working but I got there in the end with some help from my brother who's good at soldering Engine idles around 500 rpm and when reved up, where I thought it was close to the redline from the sound, it's only doing 3krmp

You could always check calibration of the rev counter with a decent timing light. Some of those rev counters have a trim screw in them.
