MB have finally got round to testing all the ones that were returned. Only one wouldn't work at all, totally frazzled.
All the others worked fine when wired up properly with a good earth.
We managed to replicate the problems people were having (intermittent working or speedo reading going up and down with revs when stationary) - this occours when the power feed not attached or unit not earthed.
So we are up against the usual male behaviour of "I'll just fit it, I don't need to read the instructions".
We've tweaked the instructions a bit and have changed the wire colours so it's more obvious which is power and which is earth.
2nd batch is ordered and will be about 6 weeks.

I was led to believe that mark was sending the team round to your home to fit them 
That's only for those in the first batch

That's why I was in Sandy last weekend. I called round but you weren't in.Train Driver wrote:I was led to believe that mark was sending the team round to your home to fit them

as far as i can remember i did wire it up according to instructions. the grenn wire was earth and the black one with the green ring was power. i did earth it directly in the head together with 2 other earth wires that work fine. still no correct readings. RPM works though. the jumping around of the speedo stopped when i installed a shielded spark plug and cap. now it always shows 0.MB have finally got round to testing all the ones that were returned.

does it make a difference which way the magnet is installed? maybe someone can post the instructions online, sÃnce i can´t find mine anymore an di would like to doublecheck.
Great news just in time for Christmas is my name still on the list for one I did phone up twice ages ago and was told it was but its been a while.Ian Hepworth wrote:MB have finally got round to testing all the ones that were returned. Only one wouldn't work at all, totally frazzled.
