Greetings,
I have a 1987 Cruiser Avante Vee that I restored afew years ago. As part of the restoration, I installed new gauges, one of which was a Faria tachometer with an hour meter. Recently, the tachometer started malfunctioning. The gauge was sticking, a problem that some have reported in the forums. I sent the gauge to Faria and they replaced the gauge with a new one, for a service charge of course. Based on the gauge being new, it does not reflect the hours that are on the motor. My question is would anyone suggest adding hours to the gauge to reflect the actual motor hours? If so, what's the best way to do this? The gauge seems to require the signal from the coil, it does not count hours when battery voltage is supplied. I read that the signal is a square wave which would require a square wave signal generator. Any insight you all can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks
