I ran a search on "tach" and "tachometer" but didn't find the info. I thought schematic had answered this before...<br /><br />I'm wanting to hook up a tach to this motor, but didn't find the info in the Clymer manual. My old chrysler o/b had a white wire and simple connection block under the hood, and the manual stated most o/b's use white as a standard.<br /><br />This rude140 manual lists only a white wire at the power pack with no note or info on a tach connection. Is that the place to tie in?

Should be a small rubber plug on the lower back side of your control. (#31) It should have 3 pins. Get a harness from the dealer. The three wires will supply battery, ground and signal to the tach...<br /><br />
