Factory Tachometer on HX

[critracer]

So my 95 HX has a multi gauge and a factory tach. I'm converting this ski to a 787. I can handle wiring the multi gauge but can I wire the tach to the 96 XP grey box? I know it won't be as accurate as the tiny tach I have but I just want it to work? I have not studied the 787 box for a tach wire maybe someone can save me some time and if possible walk me through it.

Please take pictures of the wiring, I would love to add the multiguage to my HX.

The multi gauge came stock on my HX. When I bought if from Nick [MENTION=41828]Minnetonka4me[/MENTION] he said it was rare for an 95 HX to have gauges.

Use 97spx mpem it has a gray wire for the tach

I think that was a dealer addon

Nothing for the 96XP mpem? I didn't know the 96 & 97 mpems were interchangeable?

They arent....well kind of. anything is doable but its not plug and play. There is a very simple way to get tach function out of any MPEM....they made an inline resistor you plug into a stator wire and it gives you a direct tach wire made to work with the OEM tachs.

And yes...they made gauge kits for the HX. Optional accessories. Ive seen a few with them, but the majority didnt.

Correct, no gauge from the factory on the 95-96 HX but 97 had a fuel gauge. All others were dealer installed accessories.

Nick, Thanks for the info.

The 96XP MPEM ending in 510 has no grey tach wire. You can get an MPEM from a 96GSX or GTX ending in 897 and it's the same as the 510 other then having the grey wire.
