ROBDEN Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi all. Does anyone know what the correct position of the selector switch should be on a Dacton tachometer please? The tacho’s connected to a Beta BD1005. I'm hoping an adjustment may sort it out. The needle doesn’t move from the stop until the engine is running at about 1500(?) revs and then stops at 2500 revs, when the engine is nearly flat out. Thanks in advance. Rob….

n.b.Goldie Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I do not know the answer but am sure Beta Marine will and I think you should give them a call, they are very helpful folk. Do give them your engine no. to help them identify your build. Regards Ditchdabbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kae Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Might be worth checking your alternator belt whilst you're at it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBDEN Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Might be worth checking your alternator belt whilst you're at it :-) Thanks for that Kae, you just gave me an idea. If the tacho' is alternator pulsed,and the boat is on a hook up to the mains, the charger will be doing the battery charging. Will this make the alternator redundent and give out false readings there by messing with the tacho'? I'm not at the (friends boat) at the moment so next time I'll un-hook and try it again.
