FINALLY!!! But I had to change the instrument to a programmable multi input gauge. Now it works perfectly from the 'tacho out' source....as expected.

I added a little note on the end of another post, but on reflection, I think I would do best to make a wider enquiry.. I am installing an Yamaha R1 2002 Carb engine in a Ginetta G15. The R1 engine is sparked by the usual twin coil/wasted spark arrangement with a crank speed trigger wheel to give tim...

UPDATE JULY 2008 Well, another year older and not much wiser. Two much used Zetec builds later and all's well. I still have no Tacho on the orighinal, but I'm still working on it... but the owner won't let me near the car ...HE'S ENJOYING IT TOOO MUCH!!! Our track focussed Westfield is fully up and ...

Thanks MartinM. We'll try these suggestions.

There are many 'economy' carbs that have a take off just above the leading (rising)...

Thanks, Guys, very user friendly!! Still struggling to get the Tacho to work. It's a VDO unit and has defied all pleading and soft(ish) hammerblows to date. I've installed the little diode circuit, now I'll try removing bits of it again...

Brent, Thanks for your welcome. The Westfield is up and running, the ignition is superbly accurate. We used a light steel flywheel from BURTON ENGINES here in UK. This is heavily drilled with the 36-1 pattern to energise the existing Ford VRS. Clearly it works!! As to the remainder- it's a bit of a ...

Hi I'm brand new to this so a small amount of back ground...I run a small garage workshop outside Bath In UK where we specialise in odd and difficult jobs, old cars and generally fun stuff. A customer came in with a kn*****ed x-flow in a Westfield. Could we help? We agreed a budget and started buyi...
