Tachometer Adapter

  1. An adapter is necessary when attaching a conventional tachometer into the Hall Effect electronic ignition system. See Fig 2. Tachometer black lead is attached to engine ground. Attach adapter to tachometer red lead.
  2. Adapter is formed from 2 wires soldered together at one end. One wire (leading to coil terminal 1) must be equipped with a 1000 ohm, 1 watt resistor. The second wire (also leading to engine ground) must be equipped with a 12, 000 ohm, 1 watt resistor. Both resistors should be soldered to attaching wires.
