Quickest fix I ever had. Had the yellow/black wire on the yellow not the black wire. Tach needed a unregulated source I guess.
Cold idle will set when I get a better chance to warm it up.
Thanks Joe for the reply.

I believe it to be original ignition, I bought it from the original owner. Will check the plug in wiring
to make sure of the connections.

I put a 76 tach from a Liquifire 440 into a 77 340 Liquifire, why would it register
rpm but not where it should? Way lower than it sounds.

Before you put the stator back on test the coils for ohms. There is a procedure on this site on how to do it. My 76 440 had a bad low speed winding, it wouldn't start. It also needed crank seals. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8394/8620802986_f06e0f0d80_z.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3689/9908...

Yes I do this all the time. I use a 1 gal fuel container which fits nice on the floor board. Drop one end of the fuel line into the container (with a screen pick-up) the other end goes to the fuel pump. I usually stuff a shop towel around the line going into the tank to help keep things in place. T...

It's your sleds do what you want to do with them. Busted up tunnel 76 Liquifire 440 meets busted up

Stator coils. The high speed coils are falling off and then it runs on the idle coils. That's what happened to my 76 440.

1976 Liquifire 440 Would run at low rpm but wouldn't hit the high note
That's the bearing race your looking at

Have you ohmed out the stator yet? There is a idle winding and a high rev winding. It sounds like it is not making
the transition to the high speed windings. Check out this post on here. http://www.jdsleds.com/community/viewto ... ?f=5&t=289
My 76 had the opposite problem it wouldn't start.

nick80lf this post is about the ANTIQUE registration in Wisconsin and you are talking about Act 142, which goes into effect on July 1, 2015. 2 different law changes. Back to the antique change. I thought that the 66 and older were grandfathered to stay as they are and the 35 and older sleds back to ...
