98 Sportster 1800 twin no tach

[Daveey]

Hello everyone, I just bought my first boat. A 98 sporster 1800 twin 717

I noticed it has the mpem bypass and that tach does not work. Does anyone know if I can wire them up directly to the coil + output? I am sure this has been done before, I dont want to test by trial and error and cook my tach.

Thanks

It's my understanding that this and other functionality is lost when the bypass is done. I'm sure someone with more experience with this type of thing will chime in soon. Right now I'm just doing my due diligence for such time as when my Mpem should decide to fail.

Thanks dmiles, Yes I was already aware of this from doing lots of research on this forum. My question was does anyone know if I can wire them up directly to the coil + output? I am sure this has been done before, I dont want to test by trial and error and cook my tach.

Thanks
