87 model Force 125, tach is off (I estimate by at least 1000 rpm (it shows to idle at 2500 rpm!). Full throttle shows at 7000 rpm, thought it was just a matter of change setting on tach , it is set at 6 "pul/rev" whatever that means but that doesnt seem to corresponding with the no of cyl (4cyl), I cant find anything in the manual about tachs so I will move it to 4 and see if that helps.<br />Taking the family out today and will see how that works, if anybody can clue me in I would appreciate it , will check back later. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Trent, of course setting the tach at 4 didnt help(pushed the tach higher ) will check out the diagram you sent and see if I can find anything wrong, priced a tach at boat shop for 139.00 but hope I dont have to go that route.<br />Motor is running great but its disconcerting not knowing if you're pushing it too hard.
