Hey all,
Mercruiser 3.0L Alpha 1 Gen 2 I/O.
S/N OD714746 Engine
S/N OD671270 Transom
S/N OD665768 Drive
Working ever so patiently toward getting first boat in the water. Had the engine running the other day on the muffs (very nicely I might add) but found that the tachometer does not register RPM. I went to the manual to see how to test the tach but all it says is to connect a known good tach and compare the difference. I don't have a 2nd known good tach so I was wondering if there really is a way to test the one that I have. Is there a pick up (sender) of any sort accessible on the engine that I can check for a good signal going to the tach?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hal
