I want to apologize for the delay of my response, I didn't realize that these threads could have more than one page. Dumb yes, if you don't know, you don't know.
Ok, first thanks for all of the responses and info.
Blas, of course you gave the necessary first things to check, but all of these issues were my first thoughts also.
So I pulled the 6-pin connector off and got the no. 4-pin out first. In the course of trying to get the no. 3-pin out, that 4-pin fell onto the floor. The wire to it was only 2.5in long! A wht w/blk stripe wire. I moved the 3 wire, a red w/blue stripe into the 4th location and started the motor. The tach still works, but because it is raining right now, I won't be able to drive it for awhile. I don't really want to rev it to 3 or beyond with cold
oil.
Why is the tack designed this way and what did I accomplish by moving these wires around? Does it have something to do with the digital 6a?
