MG Midget and Sprite Technical - rev counter connections

Posted 08 August 2008 at 21:40:52 UK time
AP Jones, United Kingdom
on the back of the 72 midget tacho (RVC type) there is a spade treminal and a bullet terminal , which one is the coil connection ?

I assume the shell is earthed via the alum knurled nuts on the fixing posts .

This is going into a -ve earth dynamo charged Frogeye.
Are there any other problems I should look out for ?

thanks Alan

On mine (1500)

Spade by bullet = power (green or white)
Bullet = coil (white with black stripe)
Spade bonded to body of gauge = ground (black)
