Re: Classic 17 with Honda BF90
Wow Jim, that's some very technical calculations you have done here. I will look into these things and let you know what I find. It is a Honda Tach tho, so we'll have to see I guess. First thing will be to get the tach sorted out. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
