Listeroid Engines / Installing an electric tach on a 6/1
« on: March 15, 2014, 06:19:56 PM »
Hello All
Last week I posted a question, asking if anyone had any experience with hooking up a tach. Three people responded and I want to thank you all.
Since the posting I spent part of the week trying to figure out and hook up an old Peterbuilt tach on my 6/1. I took the Indian Alt apart and soldered a wire on the stator and put it out through the housing with a separate terminal. Then came the fun of synchronizing the tach to the engine speed. In the back of the tach are 10 tiny rocker switches which had to be played with using a hand held tach to get the speed right. The only thing left for me to do is come up with a mounting bracket. At present its mounted inside a big flash light housing to protect it.
My only hope is that perhaps this information will be useful to someone. I took a few pictures and am going to try to include them with this posting.
God Bless You'all
