Hi, I am new to this group and I hope someone can finally answer my question for me.I have made many post in other forums,e-mailed Overtons,West Marine,Cabellas,Boat Us and I still have not got a answer yet.<br /><br />I am looking to add a Tachometer to 85hp Force (3 cylinder) serial#856X8B but I have been told several different things so far. First I was told it had a generator,then I was told it had a alternator,then a stator (which I have no idea what that is,I am no mechanic). Then I was asked how many poles is on the Stator.<br /><br />Could someone please tell me how many poles is on my stator? I am confused,and all I want is a tachometer
<br /><br />Thanks, Randy
