Hello there,<br /><br /> I am looking for a tachometer for a 1961 Johnson 40 H.P. Model number RDS-23. I have been searching the net for days and can not find one that would work for me. I would like to have it to mount on the console of my 14 foot runabout. I am also looking for wire hookups for spedometer. I have a gauge mounted to the console but nothing in the way of wiring to the engine or wherever.

Did you check tinytach and Faria websites?

Re: looking for tachometer...

I don't think any of Faria's tachs will work with J/E magneto ignitions. TinyTachs work great though.<br /><br />I've been wanting to make a simple circuit for hooking up I/O tachs to old J/E's. I havn't found the time yet though. :( It shouldn't be very hard.<br /><br />Also, keep an eye on ebay for old 'Airguide' tachs for use with magnetos. Or for that matter old OMC gauges.<br /><br />Hope some of that helps!
