General TA500 Multisystem Ignition Analyzer with Digital Display

The General TA500 SmarTach+COP Multisystem Ignition Analyzer is a professional diagnostic tool designed to quickly and reliably test ignition systems on automotive, marine, motorcycle, and small engines. Using proprietary technology, the analyzer performs diagnostics of non-starts, misfires, and fouled or damaged spark plugs by comparing digital read-outs of spark plug voltage and spark burn time between cylinders.

Key Features:

• Large digital display shows spark plug voltage, spark burn time, RPM, and Min/Max readings in real time
• Requires no special adapters or cables—the tool is completely self-contained
• Uses inductive pick-up to work with coil-on-plug (COP), coil-near-plug, distributorless ignition (DIS), conventional distributor ignition systems, and magneto ignition systems
• Measures spark plug voltage from 0 to 50,000 volts and spark burn time from 0 to 10 milliseconds
• Automatically powers off after 3 minutes of no operation to conserve battery life
• Powered by one standard 9-volt alkaline battery (NEDA 1604 IEC 6F 22)
• Approximately 20 hours of operation with alkaline battery

The TA500 is ideal for diagnosing ignition-related problems by comparing readings between cylinders to quickly identify faulty coils, spark plugs, or plug wires. Comes in a molded plastic storage case for protection and organization. Perfect for professional technicians and serious DIY mechanics working on multiple ignition system types.
