Tachometer replacement "76 135

[fullcontactdw]

Can I use an automotive tachometer on a 1976 johnson 135? the manual says not to use a tachometer that isnt designed for the motor. Its a sunpro tach.

Sorry, you can't do that. You must use a tachometer that is designed to operate off of the engine's charging system, one that can be set to function on six (6) pulses.
