Title: Smiths Tacho
Post by: cruiser056 on August 18, 2008, 06:23:27 AM
Hi All!
       I have recently purchased a Smiths Tacho, and was wondering if someone out there could tell me how the wiring  goes?  It has red, green, grey and black wires.

Many thanks

Michael

G'day Michael,

Usually...

Red - Power
Green - coil negative
black - earth

grey may be the light for it?  in any case, leave grey off to begin with.  earth it, then power it then try green to (-)ve coil.

Does that sound right guys?

Dave

sounds about right dave
from what ive seen while playing with the wires in mine the grey is more than likely for the gauge light.
