    Honda Tach

    Does anyone have any thoughts or have tried to mount up a Honda outboard motor tach to their three wheeler? I figure as long as its for a single cylinder motor it should work should'nt it?

    Hmmmm 4 stroke or 2 stroke outboards??
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Here's the back of the tach....



    and the 350x tach instructions....





    I am not very confortable with wiring unless its a direct plug in and do not like the idea of frying one of my 350x's.... But the idea is good if we could figure out how to wire it up safely....

    I got it cheap enough so no problem on my end as far as I am concerned.
    I will try to mount up on the P-3 and see how it acts on a true 2 stroke.

    Darn fine looking honda tach's though ,,,, if it works on the P-3 ,,, defintly gotta loose the Honda logo

    John, I need to get you a old school OEM Polaris Tach like I got. Heck, I need to find me a few more as well. lol

    This is what I want to try and hook up, it is from a Honda Magna V4 four stroke. I will probably try it on my friends 200s since the 200x is in pieces and the 200E has a lot more wires. I just don’t want to blow the tach.

    Well at least i bought it for cheap.

    There has to be something out there that looks good, will work, and doesn't cost a ton.
