My tach is not working on this motor. I tested signal wire continuity from the motor to the controller and to my tach and it is good. So I tried testing the output signal wire off the outboard to ground and I'm not getting any reading with the multimeter on AC or DC. I wish I had tried that before buying a new tach, which is what I'm currently trying. Both tachs are Faria Beede.
My old tach stopped working when I over-revved my old Mercury 500 in a different boat and took out either the rectifier or stator. Could connecting that presumably bad tach to this Johnson have messed up my output on this motor? What can I test further or what should I replace from here? Thanks.
