equus tach
Do you have to use the inductive pickup or can you use the kill switch tab on the cyl 1 coil?

Re: equus tach
Usually if they are inductive,they need to pick up the pulse thru the wire or sparkplug.Unless they specify otherwise.

Re: equus tach
On a Coil-Ignition,the Negative side of the coil is the trigger,usually from the points.Its' a pulse-type signal,since the points open and close as the engine rotates(distributor,or other trigger mechanism).The kill-switch tab is a ground-lug to short the magneto to cut-off spark,thus killing the engine.Magnetos make spark whenever they are turned/triggered,and grounding is how they stop current-flow.Hope this helps.

Re: equus tach
it shouldn't ground it out should it ? I think the green wire is just a signal wire for the tach.

Re: equus tach
Try it and see,the worst that could happen is the coil won't fire.The green wire is the signal,but if that terminal is a kill,it likel;y won't give a signal that the tach can read.Try it and let me know.
