Rev counter not working

[handymanat39]

Hi all
I am running a volvo aq171c in a carver24 withe a 290 stern drive.
My rev counter stopped working, I have tried other rev counters (not volvo) but no ssuccess., even tried cutting the grey wire and going direct onto the bendix coil.
is there any other way to test the output from the coil ?. Engine is running well..
many thanks
Andy

:welcome: handymanat39, nice to have you aboard...

Are you talking about a tachometer, or something else? And if it is a tach, why are you connecting it to a bendix? Was this working at one time and stopped?

Renualt bendix coil its of a time when volvo and renault built engines together
