[QUOTE="SAABologist, post: 502467, member: 31667"] I am adding a tachometer to the 1987 Mariner 40EL (6E9 series). I was reading in some old posts elsewhere that a special factory tacho is needed, or something about the need to add a capacitor. The tach I bought has speed ratio adjustment based on the number of poles in the stator/flywheel. So my reading has left me a bit confused. Here are my questions: -- There is a green wire up at the CDI module with a bullet connector that appears to plug into itself. Is this green wire on the Mariner 40EL for the tachometer? -- I guess the wire for the tach is up at the controls in the loom of wires with the ignition key? -- If that's the correct wire, how do you connect it to the tach considering it's plugged into itself? Thanks for any comments. [/QUOTE]
