Teleflex Tachometer Help!!!!!!

[JBIII]

I just bought an Amega series Tach for my 1984 35hp Evinrude Mod# E35ELCRR. The instructions want me to set the calibration to 1/2 the number of poles on the alternator. Daa, nobody can answer my question. How do I know how many poles it has?????? Or what # do I set it to????? I want to re-prop my boat so I need it to be accurate.

Help me,
I'm stumped

I believe it is 6, you can't actually hurt it if it is set wrong, just don't switch it with the motor running and push down a little when changing the setting.

2 cylinder J/E motors use setting 5 for a 10 pole alternator.
