This is usually a 6mm blade or small stud connection often marked W. It provides a half wave rectified pulse from one generating coil that the revcounter counts As pulley rations vary from engine to engine and to a lesser degree the number of pulses produced per revolution they have some form of adjustment that allows you to match its reading to your engine. If it does not have a W terminal then you need a fly lead soldering to one of the diodes. Any starter and alternator specialist should do it easily.

Tony Brooks Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I should have added do not confuse a diesel revcounter as I described above with a petrol engine one that are usually cheaper. The petrol engine ones count pulses relating the the ignition cold action and are sold as 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder units so they do not need any adjustments.

ditchcrawler Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Could you use one of the impulse ones that clamp on an injector pipe on this engine or are they all hidden away. I don't know much about these engines s you can tell. I think Loddon fitted one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
