iwataomote Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Dear Corby Lad, Could just be that the tacho itself is dead - not very helpful, yes I know. The 1990 XJ600 took its tacho electrical supply ("feed"), from either the orange or grey ignition coil primary wire circuit. A continuity check back from the wire on your tacho to the ignition circuit would be a simple enough first step. Give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an XJ600 as well and they are very different. I've seen complete sets of instruments for £30 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
