Re: A tach problem that I caused.
Screwed up agin eh Bin Laden, I mean lurkin. No seriously I dont quite understand what you did. You're supposed to hook up power to power then ground to ground and then the dwell wire to the - post on the coil.<br />So I guess you connected the dwell wire to ground, and now the tach on the dwell meter reads badly? I can't see how that would affect the boat tach.<br /><br />Or you connected the dwell meter ground to the - post on the coil and the dwell wire to ground? That what ya did? I dont know the mechanism of failure if that caused the boat tach to fail. Try disconnecting the tach entirely, then reconnecting, then making absolutely SURE the tach has a good ground and good power. Then make sure the gray tach wire is connected to the coil good. Make sure, dont just look at it. <br />Fool around with the adjustments in the back of the tach if it has any. If all this fails, buy a tach.
