Can anyone recommend a low cost bench or hand held tach (for 2 strokes), I seem to remember one being popular in this forum but searching did not give it to me.

harbour freight has an optical hand held tach, just apply reflective tape to prop hub or paint 2 white stripes.

Tiny tech is what you want.Just twist one wire around a spark plug wire and ground the other to the engine and you are in business.
They are only available on line.
