These rpm gauges must tap from the coil.

 

Autogauge gauges are designed for cars. Meaning that the gauge is designed to run on either 4 or 6 cylinder engines. There should be a selector on the side opposite the face of the meter.

 

i checked no selector....haiz...donno how now...

[relaksua]

hi ppl...bought an auto gauge meter almost similar to bro Bambino

 

mine has a selector of either 4 or 6 cylinder engines...tryin to fix it too but also dont knw how

 

so after readin thru tis forum...cannot install on my bike izzit which is a spark 135

[BaMBiNo]

can i go and see? which bike shop ?

[relaksua]

goin to mah mtr at jln besar..now hopin tat they can do a miracle and fix it on my bike also...

 

will be disapponted if cannot sia

[IdiotiClown]

aiyo u gt c ur left engine casing(if i nt wrong) gt 3 wires popin out? tat a current tester(those they use at audio shop)

 

start ur bike

test which wire gt light

rev ur bike

den c which wil get brighter

connect e wire which is use for readin the change in current(read the manual) from ur rpm meter to tat wire

 

tis is wat i did 2 my wave..should be e same for all small bikes..dun tink they made this meters 2 sense the spark plug cables... this is e way ppl use 2 install meters for cars.. no need cut sparkplug cable 1... dun tink any1 here tried doin tat wif their meters.. as for e meter, normally have 2 , 4 , 6 behind it(ttas wat my 5" meter states), ur reading will never b rite.. the needle will hit max rpm even at low rev..changin e switch behind will slow it dwn bt nt 2 the exact readin unless u get e meter which is meant for bikes(thailand made)

 

hope i m correct...

[relaksua]

bro bambino...i already checked with the mechanic regardin auto gauge meter....unable to fix unless our engine is a 4 piston one...meanin for cars or big bike

 

unless we buy those rpm meters that r really meant for bike...maybe JB got sell or ah boy..maybe those who bought similar meters to auto gauge which is an rpm meter can enlighten us...any rpm meter tat is workable on a cub???
