I have a tach on a 50 HP Yamaha four stroke that has quit working. I have continuity on the signal wire from the engine to the tach and 12 volts at the tach. Would you professionals guess that it is the tach that is bad or the sending unit on the engine?

Thanks so much Cat. I feel that you are correct so will be ordering a replacement from G3 to match my existing instruments. I wish you were closer to me so that I could give you all of my repair business.

That is a very nice thing to say. Thanks. Is your tach signal wire grey??? If so, it gets its "Signal" from the charging, or pulse signal from the stator or trigger. It really does'nt have a "sending unit" per say. If it were not sending a signal, I would think something else would also not work properly. Sorry for being vague, but there are many different systems. If I can be of any help, I will gladely help you. Respectfully, Steve

Thanks Cat. My signal wire is green. I found out last night that my tach has a lifetime warranty so I am sending it back for repair or replacement. For thirty bucks that is better than buying a new one. Again, thanks. Many people on this forum owes you a lot for your contributions.
