Alan, We have to identify exactly which tacho you've got here, the wiring colours are a bit different to what I've seen and wired into other 1600's.
2 x Blue wires? the 1600 SSS pulse tacho wires are normally white, the power is red and the earth is green. The electronic type has 4 different colours, i.e. white, red, green & black. One thing for sure is whatever type it is both blue wires wont connect to the -ve side of the coil. Do the blue wires loop through a small shiny plate with a long screw thingy sticking up at the bottom of the tacho and the other two wires go into a rubber grommet in the centre of the back of it? Do the blue wires have connectors on the ends eg a male spade on one and a female spade on the other? I'm thinking you've got an in series and the other two wires will be +12v and earth but which is which. Is it a 1600 tacho you've got, a 180B SSS tacho has 2 x blue/black wires but the other 2 wires are red and green so I don't think that's what you've got. If you give me some more detail that I've asked for I should be able to tell you how to wire it up. regards Terry (anyone seen this wiring combo in a 1600 tacho) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alan Attwood Sent: Tuesday, 19 March 2002 5:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tacho Wiring Hi yal. Just got myself a SSS tacho (apparently from a GL, you may have seen the ad in the ozdat classifieds). I'm not 100% sure how it hooks up, there's two blue wires, a green and a black. Apparently the blue wires connect to the negative terminal on the coil, but I don't know about the other two. Thanks. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
