We could make a stickie about it but I doubt anybody would read it ..... just like all the rest of them!

[Radicalgolfcarts]

Obivously I wouldn't read it!!!!!!!! Since I don't even read the instructions!! But agreed I think that this should be in there!!

Txkyot, did you get it working?

I have one suggestion about the Equus 8068 tach for the club cars.
The spark plug induction wire works great for ezgo's and yamaha's, but for club cars for some reason the tach doesnt like using the induction clip that goes around the spark plug wire..

When i installed my first one, it was a brain buster for me for a bit. lol i thought the tach was bad.. so i tryed the same tach on other carts and it worked on my ezgo, and the yamaha, but it would bounce all over the place on the club car.

Now Equus had different revisions of the 8068, in regards to the wires and how they hooked up to the back of the tach, but the install should be similar, just read the instructions to use the direct hookup method (i believe using the green wire??). Because the club car is a magnedo style ignition, theres only one wire comming from the magnedo that goes to the rpm limiter. You need to tap into this kill wire and then setup your cylinder adjustment, and igniton type on the the tach untill you get the proper rpm.

Give that a try, ive had good luck with that method.
