In plain sight can't see it, Tach not working

[jhelmly]

Switched over from 2.5 carb to a 260, been working all winter on it and all it great, except I can not get the tach to work. Been messing with it for a few days with no luck. Want to ride Sunday and start break in. All is same as with carb engine. Does the 260 pickup the tack signal at a different place or is something wrong. Engine starts and runs fine. Has all the stock electronics on it. Tach is set on #2 for 6cyl, using gray wire for signal. Just need some direction

thanks

Did you check the rectifier/ stator?
Sure your tach is good?

you are right,rectifier, after I posted I went and did what I should have done, fixed a drink and went out in the barn and sat and looked at it, then said to self where does tach come from, checked rectifier and will get one tomorrow, thanks for the help
