  • ONEGAUGE TACHOMETER SETUP and TROUBLESHOOTING to Contact Us: [email protected]
    ONEGAUGE TACHOMETER SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING to contact us: [email protected] IMPORTANT NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to select the correct tachometer setup for their vehicle and do any testing required BEFORE ordering from OneGauge. OneGauge will not provide refunds for improperly selected tachometer setups. Warranty only covers defective tachometer modules when ordered from OneGauge. As with all OneGauge products, OneGauge is not responsible for any damage or harm to person or vehicle when installing or operating a OneGauge product. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The tachometer is likely our most troublesome sensor. First of all, please don’t expect the tachometer to work right out of the box. Due to the huge variety of types of tachometers, there’s not really a one-size- fits-all solution. For many customers, it takes a few adjustments to get the signal to work correctly with the OneGauge hub. However, we want to help make the process as easy as possible, so the instructions below should help you get a working setup. 1. What is the source of your tachometer? You’ll first need to determine where your tach signal will come from. These differ for gasoline and diesel engines. Gasoline engines: • Coil driven tachometer • Low-voltage signal from a distributor box (MSD, etc) or the ECU itself (LS engines often include a tach signal wire) • HEI distributor signal • Coil on Plug Diesel Engines • Stock flywheel, balancer, or other tachometer sensor • Alternator terminal connection (often the “W” terminal, if available) • Aftermarket alternator tachometer pickup • Custom magnetic or optical sensor, often mounted on your flywheel, balancer, or other part that rotates predictable with the crankshaft 2.

  • Carburetor Synchronizing & Idle Mixture Adjustment
    CARBURETOR SYNCHRONIZING & IDLE MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT FOR 00-5746-0 & 43-5712-0 PROCEDURE 1. Remove the air filter assemblies. 2. Disconnect the throttle linkage rods on ALL carburetors. 3. Turn "out" (counter clock-wise) the idle speed screw, on each carburetor, until the tip of the screw is flush with the casting. Check for binding or sticking of the throttle plates. With the idle speed screw in this position, the throttle plates should be completely closed in the bores. Correct any misalignment or binding BEFORE proceeding. 4. Turn "in" (clockwise) the idle speed screw, on each carburetor, until the tip of the screw just touches the carburetor lever. From this "contact" position, turn each idle speed screw exactly one (1) full turn "in". This is your preliminary set point. 5. Start the engine. CAUTION: Be sure the loose throttle-rods are not interfering with other linkage components. 7. To synchronize the carburetors, adjust each idle speed screw until a balanced airflow reading is obtained on the Syncrometer. 8. After the carburetors are synchronized, reinstall the linkage rods. If the linkage rod length is not correct the throttle lever position will be affected. To adjust linkage rod length loosen the right and left handed nuts and turn the rod shaft to shorten or lengthen the rod as necessary. NOTE: When linkage rods are properly adjusted the Syncrometer reading will remain as originally set. When rods are adjusted, lock the rod nuts in place. 9. If idle mixture and idle speed adjustments are not required, turn engine off and remove syncrometer. Replace air filter assemblies and this procedure is complete.

  • 600 Sprint Universal Rules Technical Inspection Items to Be Checked • Rev Limiter: Engines Rpm's Cannot Exceed the Factory
    600 Sprint Universal Rules Technical Inspection Items to be checked Rev Limiter: Engines rpm’s cannot exceed the factory stock limit by more than 50 RPM’s o Identify engine make and year of engine to determine maximum rpm, reference picture manual. o Connect Stewart Warner tachometer to standard connector on competitors engine harness (see separate document on how to operate the tach). This is a three wire connector that will either have a plug cap on it or it will be hooked up to the cars internal tachometer. If it is hooked up to an existing tachometer, unhook it and connect the official tach. o If the competitor does not have a connector it is up to the track to either hook up a temporary connector or disqualify the competitor. o It is up to the competitor to either rev engine up to hit limiter in the pits sitting still, or go out on the track in one less gear than the race gear. Either way the engine must be accelerated to hit the rev limiter. o Press recall on the tachometer to view highest rpm reached. If the recalled RPM is more than 50 over the stock factory rpm limit, it is determined the ECU is not set to factory settings and will be disqualified Displacement: 06 or newer engine model year cannot exceed 600cc. All older engines cannot exceed 637cc. See list to determine the maximum displacement of the engine. o Remove right side crank case cover so the engine can be turned over. o Remove cylinder #1 spark plug o Find cylinder #1 bottom dead center.
