  • 70HP to 90HP Tach Conversion

    I have re-powered from a 2000, 70 HP to a new 2007, 90 HP. Both 2 strokes. I first had an issue with the trim angle plugs on the harness but I got that figured out. Today I went for the first break-in cruise and noticed that the tach appears to be reading twice the RPM that the motor is actually turning. The tach is a 2000 vintage multi function tach/oil level/trim angle. There must be a difference with the pick-up coil(s) or something. Is there anyone that has information to fix this.

    Giving a double RPM reading is typically what happens when you run a 2-stroke on an instrument that thinks you have a 4-stroke engine.
    Is your instrument the 6Y5-8350T-81-00? If so, check your DIP switch settings at the back of the instrument, behind the little rubber plug/grommet.

      I bought the boat used and can't see any markings on the tach itself. I'll have a closer look. It worked fine with the original 2000 70 HP 2stroke?

      Thanks

        Change the setting on middle dip switch to the down position for 12 pole alternator. The three switches should be up, down, down.
