I have a Teleflex tach in my 73 nautique. I am not sure the model number. But i can tell you that the face has the blue pin stripe circle. Anyway the problem is the wires are not the same colors as the tach I removed. The colors I have now are :
Red Blue Grey Black I think red is + Black - Grey coil Blue is light I tried the tach wired like this and it didnt work properly. Thanks Sam |

Sam, You've got the tach correctly wired! What's not working properly? Bad readings? Do you have the number of cylinder jumper set correct? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Yes I have it on 8 cyl. When I start the boat the tack gues to 6000. Also when I cycle the ignition on and off the tach moves up about 200 rpm every time.
Thanks for your help. Sam |

with the key on the tach should read 0, with it off it doesn't matter where it goes. Sounds like something is reversed or it's not the right resistance. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

When you say not the right resistance is there something i can change on the tach to make it right?
Thanks Sam |

If the tach is set on the 8 cyl, and wired correctly then there is a internal problem. I do not know anyone who does repairs on these Teleflex tachs. If you found someone who is really into electronics and is willing to take a look at it, it would be your only choice unless someone else has a idea. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

If it goes to 6k when the starter is turning you have an issue with a short between the start and ignition circuits. The move to 200 when the ignition is on could point to the same thing.
I had a problem with the tacho on my little car, same kind of issues. I ran a jumper wire straight from the coil to by pass the signal wire in the loom and it was fine. I spoke to an instrument specialist and he suggested putting a resistor in the signal wire and that cured it straight off. ------------- Easily Parted From Money |
