aka rev counter fellas

how many wires and what colours?

Just check,ive bumped the SP revcounter installation thread for you

nice one!

The SP tach is current sensing it should be wired into the supply wire to your coil. + from ognition to tach and then from tach to coil. The SP tach thread should have all the details.

Thanks Tony,....I got to this lot of Tony Bishop. There are 4 images,...I could open all except the one for the revcounter.
Pulling it open with the fingers on the I-pad I can make out it isforthe revcounter,.... but quality goes for a ball of sheet.

Is there a way of opening this particulas image with something else?,......ps my expertise with I-pad goes not far more than opening ,closing and getting to the forum!!!

Regards Nick
