    Just got the tachometer working yesterday without any interrupt!

    I decided to check the tach signal port in the main loop
    just to roughly check the engine is not already running before engaging the starter motor.

    I found that a single pulse is counted several times.
    Adjusted the check to count only low to high transitions,
    and voila! I have my pulse count!!

    This would probably be too low res to measure time between pulses, and program adjustments would interfere
    with timing so I count the number of pulses over a second for a display that is updated every second.
    Not bad for free though
