A question for the Tohatsu guru's here...I was under the impression that only a Tohatsu tach would work for this motor (I think I read that somewhere). A friend pointed out to me that the Faria catalog shows that Tohatsu's up to 30 hp can use their aftermarket tach. Is this true? I have a serviceable Teleflex tach on hand with connections for sender, ground, and ignition (plus light) and can be set at 6 pulses. Is there any reason why this tach could not be used?

For the MFS30C, the correct setting is 12 poles, which is 6 pulses.

My thoughts exactly, Paul. My dealer said no to 4 strokes, so I bit the bullet and bought a Tohatsu tach. All is not lost though, because a buddy needed a tach for his old Evinrude and gave me $25.00 for the Teleflex. I'll bet you're right about that Teleflex working on my MFS30C when set at 6 pulses though. Oh well...
