tacho not working
Hi i was just wondering if anyone could help me out,
i have recently purchased a 1976 mini clubman s with a 1275 engine and electronic ignition. The guy i brought it of said that the tachometer has not worked since an auto electrtion installed a relay for the ingition to work. It appers that one of the white wires from the tacho goes into the relay box and if you unplug this the engine will not run.
I have tried swaping the tacho with another one to see if the tacho was stuffed but it still does not work.
There are three wires coming out the back of the tacho: two white and one brown. does anyone know what these wires should be conected to for the tacho to work?
And has anyone attached the the original tacho to an electronic ignition, if so could you explain how you did it?
or do i have to go for an aftermarket tacho?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
