adding a tach
hey quimrider thanks again for the howto. I installed the tach last night. I made a modification to the original instructions.
1 - I took + 12 v from the orange horn wire after checking it with a volt meter it gave + 12 v when the key is switched on
2 - the connectors for the coil were encased in hard plastic which I did not want to break and the leads were very short so I threaded the wires through the ends of the connectors and folded them over then inserted the connector back onto the blade on the coil.
3 - I turned on the key the tach flexed the tach light came on I started the bike it reved to 4000 then quit after 30 secs. It would not start after several attempts.
4 - I took off the tank again and noticed a small black hose behind the main fuel line. I connected it to the nipple on the carb.
( vacuum line )
5 - after remounting the tank the bike fired up then I took it for a spin.
6 - the tach is smooth even at 1000 rpm
