I have an early Merc 1000 that ran well but not sure about rpm's. I have a tach but it isn't hooked and I can't find a wiring diagram to hook it up? Thinking about purchasing a vintage Airguide, currently have a vintage one in the photo that i want to try and use.

Also any advice on smoothing out idle, seems to stall and kill when idling.

IF all the seals are good. the tach is just a auto tach hookup. coil and ground. all tack are not alike. make sure yours is the correct one. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

As for the tach, how do I check to make sure it is compatible with my motor? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I assume one wire goes to battery one to ground and one to the coil? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
