TOPIC: 1962 Merc 1000

1962 Merc 1000 10 years 2 months ago #100410

I have an early Merc 1000 that ran well but not sure about rpm's. I have a tach but it isn't hooked and I can't find a wiring diagram to hook it up? Thinking about purchasing a vintage Airguide, currently have a vintage one in the photo that i want to try and use.

Also any advice on smoothing out idle, seems to stall and kill when idling.

proper distributer set up first then carb adjustment. IF all the seals are good. the tach is just a auto tach hookup. coil and ground. all tack are not alike. make sure yours is the correct one.

For distributor setup I assume I just follow the manual... As for the tach, how do I check to make sure it is compatible with my motor?

Sorry im a little slow, I've never installed a tach before. I assume one wire goes to battery one to ground and one to the coil?
