8K tach '99 sportster

[Bills86e]

Have a Bombardier 8,000 white tachometer I'd like to hook up to a single 720 motor. It has a rectangular 6 pin on the back. I can't find the plug, wires, config or pin-out.

What do you need a picture? or harness to get plug??

 

[Bills86e]

Heres the backside. Looking for Plug & wires. Not harness, just the plug pig-tailed. Can you Help?

Dont know if it helps but I have my old broken one??

If he wants to permanently install his own pins, or remove the connector and solder to the board, then yes. You can tell us what the wire colors are, starting at the top right, and reading to the left, then the second row, right to left.

Pin out: :function
1.purple/grey tach supply
2.dark blue backlight
3.black/grey tach ground
4.empty
5.empty
6.grey /green tach signal

Connector should look like the numbers below, as seen from the back. (if the FSM is displaying it correctly, I can't tell because they show a bad picture of an empty connector)
321
654

Cool project, let me know how it goes.

p.s. the wire colors should be the same from boat to boat, although you may not have a blue from the factory, if not, you can use the grey wire on the nav switch to turn illumination on with the nav light.

Ernest, thank you! On the signal wire, on older models like a '95XP the signal wire from the Rectifier had a pig-tail 20k resister hen to the tach. I am useing that E-box, so would I be correct in connecting this resistor in-line? So I just need to connect 1-power 2-ground 3-signal?


OCOD, I have the tach, do you have the connector that plugs into the tach? (plug is what I need).

Thanks Guys! Bill

 

[ocod]

Sorry Bill thats a negative.

I thought you needed something in the gauge itself or picture of plug...

 

[Bills86e]

Does the center brass post get involved as....maybe a ground?

I noticed GAMERSE avatar his sportster is a '96. This tach is a '99. '96's needs a 20K reststor, '99's I think are built into the mpem.

OCOD, can you send me a pic of your plug? How many wires, & color code pin out? That would verify GAMERSE's info. Bills86e@aol.com

I am unclear now, what are you putting in what? Is it a 99 sportster tach going in a 95 XP? I didn't read into it verry much, but since this is the boat forum, I thought you were putting a 99 boat tach in a 720 boat.

ROFL look what I just found

Guys, I need the tach pinout. With clip up, two rows of three pins. I need the color codeing and location orientation. I really
appreciate any help. I am wanting to wire the tach to a single engine 720. ('96 SPX).

Heres pic of Sportster tach back:

Thanks if you can help! Bill

Ok, so, this is a 99 sportster tach, going in a 96SPX. Sneaky asking this category to get the boat guys to help your PWC project, but smart too.

Anyway, yes, the resistor stays, inline.

I use the FSM wiring diagrams for refrence. I'm not actually looking at boats.

Ernest

p.s. the 99 sportster has the same engine, but diffrent pin configuration, using numbers instead of letters, all I had to do was cross refrence the manuals for the solution

Tach Plug



So this in on my 98 Sportster boat starboard enging tach.

Stfoulks, Please e-mail to Bills86e@aol.com, so I can blow up to see. Thanks Soooooooo Much! Bill

 

[Bills86e]

I'm thinking blue powers illumination bulb. I Really THANK YOU! Bill

 

[Dr Honda]

Looks like you guys got it figured out.

Yes... you will want a 20k resistor in the "Signal" wire to clip the DC voltage. (It will still let the AC pass, and runt he tach)

Tony, I'd like a pig-tailed plug, but i may just use the female pins and putty. Unless you got one, Thanks! Bill
