How to hook up Tach
So after reading all sorts of threads i give up. I have a tach/dwell meter but where can i hook it up to see what kind of RPM i'm doing. Also if i buy a tach where do i even hook it up? 85 club car with flathead.

Re: How to hook up Tach
Meter, usually hook one side to coil one side to ground, set number of cylinders or if analog may have a row for RPM with X cylinders on it and how to calc for other num cylinders.
TACHS most are induction style tachs, most have instruction with them, and usually connect to the spark plug cable/ wire. wrap around spark plug per number of wraps usually 3-5. or may have a clip that clips on wire, just make sure it is facing correct direction, usually has an arrow and plug on it. pretty simple animals. Make sure your tach is for 1 cylinder engine to work correctly !! most are for 4, 6, 8 cylinders. I just picked up the Equus, here is my posting about it: What Tachometer & Speedometer are you Using on your Club Car |

Tiny Tach is what I use, you just wrap the input wire around the spark plug wire.
