ahp171 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Ok so I actually borrowed the coil from the Conquest for about 15 minutes yesterday to test if a coil on my old tractor had took a crap, which it did. Put the coil back on the quest, fired up, and everything was fine. Then I noticed the tach was not working, doh. Is there supposed to be a wire that clips onto the prong coming off the positive on the coil (the side with the blue boot on it.) I have to just be missing something, tach worked absolutely fine until this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 the tach signal comes off the neg terminal not posi you guys with real short memorys need to write your self a note or draw a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 From the negative side of the coil there should be a white wire that has a spade connector on the end. Make sure that is hooked up. That wire goes to the tach. It's real easy to pull it apart and not notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby thanks for trying to make me feel stupid but I was in a hurry, had post holes to dig with the tractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahp171 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well I am not noticing this white wire anywhere, does it originate off the main harness somewhere or? The only wires I have going to the coil now are blue and blue/white and black and black/white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 There should be an oblong metal box near the coil. That is the tack wiring, one end goes to the main harness via a white plug, the other to the coil neg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlrichWolf Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 the tach signal comes off the neg terminal not posi you guys with real short memorys need to write your self a note or draw a pic I laughed at this. Pretty hard. Reason was, we had this chick in auto shop class.....I saw her do a brake job on a LeBaron GTS in class by drawing a picture of each part as it came off, and numbering it so she could put it back right. WE laugh, but that girl got excellent grades, and turned out to be a good wrench......I don't remember her cars coming back with stupid mistake issues.
