Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

If the engine is cool, I can crawl in and lay on top of the engine and check the resistance. What I'm more interested in is the output voltage of the sensor if it fails with the new cable! On the...

Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

I'm planning to run an entire new cable with larger gauge wire and all new connectors. I suspect a possible short in the original harness. It's that or a defective sensor which is expensive and...

Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

I was able to relocate some hoses from the water pump to the water heater that allowed me to crawl back far enough to actually see the mag sensor. Took your advice and tugged on the wires and found...

Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

Actually I've thought about it...about opening a hatch in the quarterbirth bulkhead to provide access to the rear of the engine. I've also looked at opening a hatch in the cockpit like those in the...

Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

Re: Yanmar xGMxx Tach Sensor Question

Have to find a 17 year old kid that knows how to turn a wrench and be able to squeeze into the access hatch in the lazarette first! I'm pushing 71...I'm 6ft and 198 lbs. I don't bend like I used...
