I wasn't 100% sure that it would work tbh. You may need to run a wire from the blue/white to one of the HT plugs and wrap it around like with TrailTech dashes.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: NC30 clock change and no start.
IIRC from before, you wrap it at least four times round the HT lead insulation. Not the core. I suspect you'd blow it up if you did. I don't recall if the thing needs grounding afterwards. Does the manual not say?

Re: NC30 clock change and no start.
the Manual is crap. has nothing on it. apart from setting time and setting wheel parameter and the pulse setting for the speedo... okay i will try that and see if itl get the rpm.

Re: NC30 clock change and no start.
well i tried it. and its not working. the only thing that seems to give a signal is connecting the clock rpm cable onto the blue/white wire on the right side of the engine. but then the rpm counter shows 9k rpm when its on idle.... and its not idling properly. its 1.5k rpm but the tacho shows 9k :\

Re: NC30 clock change and no start.
Koso's have a setting to calibrate to tacho, I had to change it when I used a koso, I suspect these are the same although without instructions best of luck lad.

Re: NC30 clock change and no start.
no, the dash does not have a setting to adjust the number of pistons/cylinders and the stroke. its a shitty chinese make. only has settings for, wheel parameter, pulse setting for speedo and time adjustment. and other things such as trip distance and mph/kmh setting. on the wiring sheet it says. wire number 17 (blue/white) and under it, says connects to Signal. thats all that it says.
