Default Rev Counter on Diesel Engine

Larry

I don't have the Perkins tach, so before parting with hard earned cash I
wondered if I could modify what I've got.
The engine is a Perkins Prima 78hp Turbo, out of a car so I've got to spend
about £700 for the marinising kit.
Regards,
Brian

What about using the Perkins tach? Ours works great....

I'm in the process of replacing the old AQ110 petrol engine (negative

in my boat with a Perkins Diesel.
Is it possible to retain my original Rev Counter (signal from contact
breaker), but pickup the signal from the Alternator instead and

recalibrate
the instrument (I have an accurate hand held tacho to compare it with)?
