Tachometer wiring

[jaba]

Hi to you all!<br /><br />I´m planning to assembly a tachometer for my boat. The engine is 120hp 1992 Force. There are two cables that say they are ment for tachometer, grey and purple. If I go to store and get a tach that has three places to wire current, ground, and tach pulse do I get the pulse from purple or grey? Or am I out of the game with this idea, hope not..<br /><br />-Jaba-

Re: Tachometer wiring

It's easier to just link you to the folks who make the tachs. There is a problem with Force, and thier use of 20-pole stator windings.<br /> Teleflex PDF.... <br /><br />You'll need Adobe reader for that one.<br /><br />And this one goes into depth on the Force explaination;<br /> Read question #10 of the link below----<br /><br /> Teleflex explains Force

Re: Tachometer wiring

Allright, got it.. Now can someone tell me, would a standard tach fit to my purposes, or do I have the prestolite system? Engine has the following numbers: 1201x920 and the serial: 025028. Thank you for your help again. I´ve said it before and I say it again : This forum is awesome!<br /><br />-Jaba-
