I have slowly been working on my bike. One of the projects today was to build a tachometer drive plug. yeah I know that I could purchase one I would rather build than purchase if it is within my skill level ;D
I am going with an electronic tach and have no need for the cable. I settled on a piece of metal that originally lookec like it was part of an air conditioning fitting. I turned it to the proper diameter and length. I drilled a hole in the end and put in a few 6mm threads so that I could use a bolt for removal.
One thing that was odd was there was a 6 mm bolt that went into the cam cover vertically about an inch behind the tach drive port. The bolt was loose enough to turn with the fingers so i unscrewed it and noticed that it was some kind of locating pin. It seemed to snug down without difficulty. Any idea what it is for?
Here is my plug.
