Good idea, I will try that and see. I'm making some other repairs while I have the fairing off.The lost spark ignition might make the 2 setting better for the tach.

The Instructions said:Generally speaking for the speed sensor I send, 2 or 4 is the best number (pulse number the same with magnets number)
I'm a little concerned with the Revo oil pressure gauge. Since the sender is slightly larger than the one it replaced, I had to relocate the sender to under the carbs from where the other one was below the ignition cover (it draws from the main gallery). I ran a -4 AN PTFE hose that is 9" long with one 90 degree hose end and adapted the other end to a 1/8 pipe thread fitting. I noticed at first it did not generate a reading, so I double checked the wiring and it was OK. It eventually worked properly. Today, I noticed it was not reading again when I began, and after about 4 miles of testing (I was not paying that much attention to this gauge due to speedometer testing) it began to work and worked fine after that.
.
The sender is electric, one side goes to ground & the other to the gauge. It uses bullet connectors, which I do not care for.
This gauge replaced a combo electric pressure/volt gauge that ground the sender via the engine and used one wire (via a threaded stud terminal) to go to the gauge. My gauge ground lead is going to a clutch cover screw, so it is a good ground. The GSX engine has very limited room below (not under) the ignition pickup cover- the OEM warning light sender does in fact mount under this cover internally. If I used a 16mm x 1.5 (main gallery plug thread) to 1/8 pipe adapter the bullet terminals would stick out too far. I used a 90 degree fitting on the prior sender but the new one is a larger diameter and longer due to the bullet terminals, so it just would not fit there. The -4 hose was the best solution I could think up given the space limitations. I used PTFE hose since I found a good deal locally for the hose assembly.
I tested the ground wire and got a solid ground. I tested the sender between the terminals with wires disconnected and got .4 ohms with the engine off, and then started the warm engine and ran it on fast idle at around 2500 RPM, which should give close to 100 PSI on the old sender. I got a reading of 23.58 megaohms. I looked up some common 0-100 PSI senders and the ones I saw listed were 240 ohms @ 0 PSI and 33 ohms @ 100 PSI. I tested the old sender and got 235 ohms (0 PSI). I suspect the sender is defective but will confirm the Revo numbers with the seller. If it uses a regular 240-33 ohm sender, I can use a spare unit I have here.
No, I'm running oil inside.OK I see it is an broken electric sensor, with no idea why you needed PTFE hose, run the wires inside?



I was able to extricate the LED display from the housing and it will be mounted in by idiot light dash. (not for the faint of heart).
