May 8, 201014 yr comment_318861 Good to here you got it fixed, i could use the guts from one of your spare tach's, ned to be working.Let me know.ChrisWhats wrong with yours?

May 8, 201014 yr comment_318866 Fault readings Adria, show about half the value, being it's a 3 wire, i can use the guts from a 260Z, i have tried to turn the screws on the back with no result.Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35791-tach-problem/?&page=2#findComment-318866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 9, 201014 yr comment_318982 Good chance the kickback signal is too weak and the tach is actually working. Check out the line resistor as described in zKars posting and measure the resistance of the tach to coil wire (disconnect the tacho and measure from the dashboard connector to the coil negative terminal).

May 9, 201014 yr comment_319024 Yeahr, Adrian, you are right, i will pull a test wire from the tach and direct to the coil and see what will happen, with and without a 2.2k resistor.Let you know of the result.Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35791-tach-problem/?&page=2#findComment-319024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 9, 201014 yr comment_319025 Try to measure the overal resistance, should be not less than ~2-2.5KΩ. Not sure if directly connecting the tacho to the coil is healthy, get hold of a 1,5K and 1K resistor and try those instead of the existing inline 2.2KΩ resistor.
