RPM's / Tach question
(Henry Blackmoore) wrote in message nk.net...
In article , (basskisser) wrote: (Henry Blackmoore) wrote in message hlink.net... In article , (basskisser) wrote: (Don) wrote in message . com... I had a problem late last year with the RPM's on my boat. Well, it was not really the RPM's, just the reading on my tach. Sometimes when first starting out for the day the tach would show 5500 to 6000 RPM's even though I know they were not that high. My boat max's out at about 4600. I have a 26 foot Weekender with the 350/260 combination. I know by the sound of the motor too. Then after some amount of minutes the tach reading drops back to what it should be, around 3500, with no change in the sound of the motor. So I have a bad tach. My question is is it usually the actual guage that goes bad or is it the cable or whatever the cable attaches to on the motor/outdrive side to pick up the RPM's. I guess I don't really know where the cable attaches to read the RPM's. many thanks I would guess that it is the actual tach that is bad, seeing how you are reading SOMETHING. I'd think if the wiring were bad, you would read zero R.P.M.'s. Ever hear of excessive resistance? One can have "bad" wiring and still get a reading...(albeit usually much lower). Ever hear of reading the post before knee-jerking a reaction? It reads higher. Well no sh*t Sherlock. Which is precisely why I posted that sentence in parenthesis. However according to your ignorant statement above a tach would never read anything if the wiring were "bad". I was responding to YOUR (drug-influenced?) comment and NOT the whole post. Sheesh. You really ought to clear your mind for awhile and leave that weed alone. Then why to hell did you POST it??? Drunk again? |

My goodness son, you really are mentally challenged eh? Let's recap, shall we? The poster said his tach read higher than it should. I said that it PROBABLY would not be the wiring. YOU said that it could be the wiring, excessive resistance. Okay, we have a tach reading higher, I say that it probably isn't the wiring, because it reads higher. You say it could be the wiring, which could give a false reading, albeit lower. Now how damned stupid is THAT statement you made? Are you too drunk to know the difference between a higher reading than a lower one? |

And that is simply not true and an ignorant statement. Simple as that. The wiring can be "bad" and still read something which is what my statement was saying numb numb. As usual your brain is clouded by smoke. "I would guess that it is the actual tach that is bad, seeing how you are reading SOMETHING. I'd think if the wiring were bad, you would read zero R.P.M.'s." |
