The Factory service manual has wiring diagrams. What manual are you using?

Incorrect.

That manual has diagrams on pps. 7-7, 7-8, 7-25, 7-26, 7-27, 7-28, 7-29, 7-30, 7-32, 7-33, 7-36, 7-38, 7-41, 7-43, 7-45, 7-46, 7-48, 7-50, 7-52, 7-53, 7-62, 7-63, 7-65, 7-66, 7-68, 7-69, 7-70, 7-71, 7-72, 7-74... and these are in addition to the comprehensive diagram in the owner's manual.

The complete wiring diagrams for the 40C are on pages 45-47 (the end) of the owner's manual at http://www.tohatsu.com/tech_info/own_man_pdfs/Toh40C.pdf

Apparently the newer Japanese manuals don't retain the wiring diagrams.

BTW, the tach connects to the white and yellow wires.

And it is very unlikely that the tach will work on that engine. 99 times out of a hundred the engine pulse is too much for a tach of that era.
