Tachometer wiring?
Hi there
Picked up an old tacho at the bug-in on the weekend, and was just curious as to how i should wire it up.
It has 4 wires coming out of it, a red, a black, a green and a white.
Now i assume that black and red would be earth and power, but what are the other two? And where to i hook them up?
I'll put some pics up later, its an interesting old thing! It has "Kmart" on the dial face!:o :P:thumb

white would be backlight, hooked to say speedo light wire
green would be the signal for the tacho, wired to negative side of coil

Hi
When you run the wire for the tacho signal, you can then also use it for a kill switch.
