Hello James,
If you are certain that the tachometer works, try looping the white wire at
the rear of the tacho in reverse as the moving body of electrons may be in
reverse rotation.
Also if the "bridge" strap across the plastic locator where the white wire
is looped may be a after market product and I have first hand knowledge with
these......they simply do not work at all, the bridge must be a compound of
lead and I believe tin, the aftermarket ones that I have experience with are
some other metal and thay will not work. you fit an original....and hey
presto...everything is fine.
Regards.
David.

Subject: tach
helping a guy in the club with a bj8(phase1) get his tach working. the
tach
works fine in my car but will not work in his. the wiring was originally
all
screwed up. someone had cut the wire that comes from the gas guage to the
back of tach and wired it directly to ignition, then ran a large white
wire
from coil direct to the ground post on the tach. i have rewired the tach
like
the wiring diagram, with the wire coming from ignition, thru the tach with
a
loop, then on to the negative side of the coil, and and the wire from gas
guage to back of tach. still no movement of tach needle. any ideas of
what i
am doing wrong? healeymanjim
