Adding Amp and Oil pressure Gauges On Lawn Tractors?

Im building a speeder project and i was woundering if you can put a aftermarket amp gauge on it and a oil pressure gauge? The oil i was thinking of where the oil/drain plug is located run a T block so u can hook the fitting up there then you can also drain it also? my engine is a B&S 16hp OHV Single

The ammeter should be no problem, many mowers come wth them stock. The oil pressure gauge might be a problem though. I was reading about this somewhere in my internet wanderings. What I read was that there is no oil pressure since mower engines are a sling style rather than a pump style. I can't say from experience, but it sounds right, makes sense.

thats what i was thinking but i seen a guy on youtube with a B&S 15hp twin with a oil gauge and another guy with a craftsman idk tho

There are some B&S engines with pressurized oiling systems, don't think the one you have is one of them though.

Damn ok now about tach i was woundering if i got one from an old single motor cycle or would a car tach work and how would i hook that up?

Someone on here posted a tech kit that would work (I think they have a wire that wraps around the spark plug wire)... not sure how you could adapt ones like you listed.

yea ive seen some of the ones like that i had a kids 4stroke skidoo that had one on it i didnt like it as it was pretty delayed when u throttel it up

If the motor has an oil filter then it is pressurized. If not then likely a sling style. The OHV engines are usually pressurized.

If you are just wanting some for looks, Im sure you can add a few easy ones. like, fuel gauge? Oil temp? I know they sell RPM gauges and you can add a speedometer. then there is the battery gauge.
thats five easy gauges you could add..if its more cosmetic then practical.

Tachs can be expensive for single and twin cylinder engines. Check on instructables.com and you can turn a bicycle speedometer into a tachometer, just putting in the correct number instead of the tire diameter.

Ive decided to just go with the volt gauge i was wouldering if a motorcycle gauge would work but im going to check around

Most racers add a tach to keep an eye on RPM's because theyre running no governer - as mentioned oil pressure wont work w/o a pressurized oiling system .

On most my tractors i unhook the battery guage, mainly because they dont work in the first place.
