    Tachometer Troubleshooting

    My tach for my 1999 150 VMax doesn't register at all. My voltage readings are as follows: grey wire-5.8volts and purple reads 14.8volts. Not sure what the readings should be and I am trying to figure out if it is my tach or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: Tachometer Troubleshooting (BassnG3)

    Is it a Yamaha digital tach? Does it go through it's test mode when you first turn on the key? (LCD flashes all digits...).

    No, it's an analog gauge.

    I have a Allison W/ a Yammy digital Tach and it reads 6300-6400 RPM's no matter if has a 24" or a 30" prop on it could it be bad. What is this test mode, how does it work and what does it do

    Your voltages seem okay. So my guess is the tach is dead. Here is a link to Teleflex's troubleshooting guide which gives the info on how to check one. http://www.teleflexmarine.com/...=1047

    Re: Tachometer Troubleshooting (macinckirk)

    Mine is acting up. It's a faria and when I called them, the customer service person gave me an R/A number and said to send it with a check for $26 and it will be fixed. The check is for shipping and handling. He said the turn-around time was about ten days.

    Go to faria-instruments.com and look for the customer service phone number.
