My New Frankenstien Engine

too much wizardry and I'm a tecky guy!

[tractor]

after changing the camshaft seals twice because of a bad oil leak around the seal area just found a bit of the camshaft cover gasket missing right above where the oil is coming from DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

even found time to replace camshaft seals and fit vernier pulleys

 

careful of the vernier pulleys, mine slipped and caused all the inlet valves to strike the pistons.

Had another positive day today think I have cured the constant power drain and got my revcounter working but I am still baffled by speedo wiring

[Guest mcramsay]

What's the issue with the speedo? What sensor are you using?

hall sensor and three 12v wires to speedo why

WHITE: Only required if you are using a Hall Effect Sensor. Connect this wire to the live fed of the sensor. ECU pulse feed or Magnetic sensor does not require this connection. It can be taped up. GREEN: Connect this wire to the speed signal output from the sensor or ECU. BLACK: Connect to earth - Negative. YELLOW: +12 feed to instrument illumination. Connect this wire to side lights. BLUE: +12 Volt ignition feed to the instrument. Connect this wire to the ignition feed that is live when the ignition is turned on. RED: + 12 volts. Connect this wire to a permanent 12 volt live supply.

so from wot the instructions say i should connect the white wire to the live feed of the sensor

so do i connect the white wire to the 12v feed to the hall sensor or of the feed from the sensor

why cant they say to or from instead of of

From the way they've described it, White is your 5v supply to the sensor - connect it to "+" or "Vcc" on the sensor. Green is to the signal on the sensor. The sensor will have an earth wire, just connect that to a convenient earth. The black from the back of the speedo, goes to earth as well (not to the sensor, unless it has another one that specifically says so?).
