Hi Ted.
I am sure the coil is good. And it is good to know where it is :) I thought
I may have a bad wire from the coil (negative side) to the tach. But when I
ran a jumper from the coil to the tach, the tach still did not work. I was
wondering if there isn't a way to bench test an electronic tach.

| You probably don't have a bad coil I say that only because they don't seem to go bad very often, especially if it went bad all at once (they usually fail slowly). But it is possible. There are a lot of things to check and that can go wrong, I don't even know where to start, but coils aren't all that expensive so if you think thats it, replace it, but based on my experience its probably the last thing you are going to check... A multimeter, swappable parts and a lot of reasoning is your best bet. Ted |
