Mercury 135 97 Pulse

Hello,

Would anyone know what pulse setting I turn my quicksilver tachometer to?

Thank you,

David

as I could never remember on all the OBMs ,I just used to have them ticking over and had my rev counter on my electric meter and just turn the adjuster untill both read the same. I was usually working outside and the manuals were inside and I couldnt be bothered to walk inside to look

Thanks uncle. Do you mean a multi meter? Analog I presume?

[uncle al]

analog NO I had the all sing and dancing mercury digital multi meter, which I gave back when I retired,

Ah, just tried changing to the different settings and found that it all reads the same. I'm thinking my tachometer is stuffed

Starnetman,

if you don't have a secondary Tacho, adjust it so it is doing about 850-ish RPM at tickover. You'll soon find out if it's reading wrongly when you open the throttle!

Failing that, have a look at the Teleflex website & get the tech info sheets for their tachos - there is a setting chart on there that tells you how many poles most engines have.

The copy I found says for a 135Hp Merc, if it's a 2- stroke, set it to 3 (6) , if it's a 4- stroke, set it to 6 (12), so there's a going in point fopr you.
