Have you connected the rev counter sender lead? (Sorry for the obvious question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Assuming the system is the same as the diseasel, then the rev counter wire is renowned for breaking. I chopped mine back by about a foot and crimped on a new length of thicker gauge wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a 'phase tap' on the alty which drives the rev counter, not all alty's have them, if yours doesnt then thats why its not working.
