Is my tacho stuffed?

[d3c0y]

So i installed a Crane HI-6 ignition in my zed and triggered it off the points. Tacho was working fine.

Stuffed around with it a bit, reinstalled the dizzy and the points gap closed up with out me knowing.

Car still ran but poorly and tacho was bouncing around a bit at some revs. After working on it a bit more the car wouldnt start and i finally figured out the problem and at that stage it had actually melted the bit of plastic in teh side of the dizzy boddy where the +12V comes from for the points.

 

My question is at the end off all of this can closing up the points cause the tacho to blow up?

 

Is there a way to test the tacho?

 

Cheers

there should have been a manual with the hi-6 that has about 20 different set ups for different models and very easy to read instructions, do you have it? i still have mine .

I have the HI-6 installed and running the tacho just doesnt work.

 

Do you have your tacho hooked up to the tacho output?
