Tach Installation

[Txkyot]

Purchased a tach for my '05 gas C/C. Can't get the thing to work per the instructions. Has anyone have any details or pictures on how to make it work?

Are you sure you got the correct model for your 2 or 4 stroke and # of cylinders?

What did CPP say when you called them about the problem you were having? My guess is you both have either the bought the wrong product or you do not know how to install what you have and can't follow directions. How much tach installation experience do you have? CPP does not sell parts that are not applicable for golf carts. It doesn't sound like you have called CPP to ask about the trouble you are having installing the tachometer? Otherwise you would be telling us how hard they have worked to correct the problem you are having ordering the correct part or installing it..... I am very disappointed in you

You got that right scottyb. All it takes is a phone call. Needed something from Mikes and had trouble with computer but did not give up just gave him a call. Them guys know their stuff.

Purchased the tach from CPP and it is a model # 8068. I think I read the instructions right, but I could have made a mistake. I have not talked to Tom or anyone at CPP on how to PROPERLY install the tach. I don't see a coil on the golf cart, so I connected it to the spark plug wire. Hooked the red wire to the the small post on the solenoid and the black to a ground wire....
Any thoughts scottyb??

Yep. Call Tom @ CPP He will guide you thru the install I have not used that tach so I can not advise you on the install... maybe another member can help?

I have the same tach. I had it working on my stock Yamaha, stock ez-go motors and now on my BB.
It's a good tach and will work on almost any motor.
Have you set the number of cylinders per the instructions?
There is a trouble shooting section in the directions, and there is also support at the Eqqus site.

I suspect that if you are dissapointed with CPP that you never did talk with them about the trouble your having.
