Re: Searching For Joe Reeves
By now, you are most likely aware that I answered your email. A copy of what I had to say follows:<br /><br />I retired some years before that engine came into existence and am unfamiliar with its circuitry, however the following may be of some help to you.<br /><br />- - - - -<br />This pertains to the engines where the rectifier has a Yellow/Gray wire, a Yellow wire, and a Red wire...... or two Yellow wires and a Red wire. Normally this indicates a 6 pulse output alternator which would require a six (6) pulse tachometer.<br /> <br />However, the usual settings for the tachometer pertains to the pulse output of the alternator..... and that is usually six (6) pulses. In which case the dial on the tach should be set to number six (6).<br />- - - - -<br /> <br />If on the other hand, the rectifier has a Yellow/Gray wire, a Yellow wire, a Yellow/Blue wire and a Red wire, that usually indicates that the alternator pulse output is five (5) pulses, in which case the engine requires a five (5) pulse tachometer and the dial (if it exists) should be set to five (5).<br /> <br />- - - - -<br /> <br />Hope this has been of some help to you. What does your service manual have to say about the tachometer or stator/alternator setup?
