Steve, OH GAWD, open mouth insert stupidity. I reviewed what you sent to me, and low and behold I realized I wasn't interpreting that TSM wiring schematic correctly at all. Thanks for the clarification, and the back up photo. Now my hopes are way up again that the tach does work!! I'll find out tonight when work is over. The great attempt at tach wiring will take place again, Lady Luck please be with me tonight.
