Club Car Gas Engine Tach
I have a 2003 Club Car Turf 2. I am trying to install a Equus 3-3/8" Tachometer, DIS that is for a 4 cycle engine with 1 to 12 cylinders. It has an inductive pick up. I have installed it according to the instructions but it will not read. I call Equus and they were no help. has anybody out there had this problem in the past. Thanks in advance you might be able to give me.

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
You've programmed it for a 1-cylinder and double-checked your wiring? I'm thinking about getting this same tach in the near future.

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
Yes checked and double checked and still no luck. It's a good looking tach but it won't work. I think there might be something wrong with the pick up.

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
Will it light up at all? I think that tach has a backlight for night time.

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
Yes it is getting power and the tach moves some times but is not correct.

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
I seem to remember somewhere in a thread where someone had this same problem and it was because the pickup wasn't getting a good signal because the plug wire wasn't thick enough.. Think they used a piece of a tire tube to wrap around the wire and make it thicker ???

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
No luck on the gas hose thing. I am going to try the splicing in a longer plug wire.

Re: Club Car Gas Engine Tach
