I got a Tiny Tach and have put it on as per the directions. I get no reading whatsoever. I have tryed wrapping 1,2,3,4, 7 wraps and neither one of them give me a reading at all. When I ordered I gave them information specific to my motor. I have a 1989 US Marine Force 85HP Motor. It came set to 360 and that is what they told me it needed to be. Would this be correct? Hopefully it is because I have tryed to change to different setting and it will not scroll through the selections. Any ideas of what may be going on or has anybody had this problem before?

Re: Help with Tiny Tach installation

Karla, I have the same engine and also just got my tiny tach installed. I wrapped the lead on the top #1 plug wire about 10 times, then wrapped it with electrical tape. The tach function is changeable for different engines and ignition types. Read the manual, or go online to their site for more programming info. If I remember right there are three modes, tach, hour meter, and scheduled maintenance reminders. I messed mine up a few times before it would show correct rpm.
