WTB Tach 1600 Nomad - Page 2

Hey TC, I ordered the tach last night and it's being mailed to Mac's place, not mine in Newfoundland, that way he doesn't have to pay the extra "northerner" shipping fees! Great minds think alike though, good thought.

Never thought of having it shipped to Mac. :-[
So I guess my mind is not quite as great as yours

It is really nice when members step up to help other members, Thanks Gary.

If anyone else is looking for a tach like this one I found this on e-bay:

Tc the bracket on the back of yours is it removable I am thinking about mounting it in my fairing.

The write-up on this tach says that it is a "mechanical" type tach. I think our bikes need the 4 wire "electrical" type.

Well Gary evidently trusts me for the bucks. But so far he won't tell me his name and address so I can pay him back. LOL...

I sure hope this is a lectric tach....

The pic is a tad blurry in my fog... Looks like a 'P" clamp with a rubber liner. Since I haven't got the tach in my greasey mitts, I can't say how I will mount it, but I am only sure I won't mount it from behind

When I get it and if it's a cable drive I will be havin a bad day, but I will still pay Gary.

If gary bought this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS....13016855 784212

it is lectric...

Old bikers, This one is mechanical cable drive. Suited to cable driven 2 cylinder engines.

The one I bought and posted about is an electric tach. It only needs to be hooked up to one coil.
Mac, it will work on your Nomad.
oldbikers, yes the bracket on the back is removable. The one you posted is cable driven. Stay away from it.

macmac · 05-10-2010, 08:34 PM

TC you gettin out this way this year?

I have a 2nd nacell, which is down to the powder coaters.. If i can scalp the tach out of that can, I might measure it up and mount in in the nacell, if it fits... That would mean a hole saw and a O Ring... I just know I am keepin my womans purse

**Top Cat** · 05-10-2010, 10:32 PM

I don't know if we are getting out that way this year or not Mac.
Sent you a PM.

Y'all are wright I was reading the description where it Say's for a dual fire ignition

macmac · 05-11-2010, 10:09 AM

old bikers, I didn't see that discroption, just the mechanical tach. Early carbed Nomads might use that cable drive, but with no cable, that tach won't work unless you put a kids whirrly gig on it and hold it in the wind

jd01 · 05-11-2010, 10:27 AM

Those of us that have carbed Nomads, use the electric tach also.

Yes you can, and it is the more accurate choice. Those with no cable have only one choice.
