    Voltage Regulator shot? 90' Evinrude 150 outboard

    Any tach gauge work on my 90 Javelin 396FS?

    My tach isn't working. Can I use an auto part store tach or do I need to order one? Part # 174985 Pretty sure it's the tach and not the regulator after doing a bypass trick I read about online for this charging system.

    90 Evinrude 150 XP, idles about 1200rpm and hard to start when cold...timing?

    Thinking I better check the timing tomorrow. Which plug is #1 for checking timing? Engine idles high and I verified the carbs are fully closed at idle position.
