On outboard motors a tach problem can be an indicator of a bad rectifier...
|
A good run is better than a bad stand!

Is this something I might be able to check / diagnose myself?

yes... take the 3 leads off of the rectifier and using an ohm meter check for continuity between terminals one way them switch leads and check the other... one way will have continuity.. the other will not.. if the rectifier is shorted you may get continuity both ways or none at all no matter where you put the leads... another indication is usually ( but not always) a charging system problem.. check to see if your alternator is putting out the proper voltage..

regarding the charging system, my voltmeter on the dash shows charging at or close to 14 volts on start up so I would guess all is o.k. there. Without sounding stupid, where is the rectifier ? |

Depends on the engine and year.. they bolt them in all different places... with out knowing the engine.. best bet is to trace the wires coming from the stator.... stator leads will be yellow/black and yellow/red... tach wire will be grey.. rectifier will be a square or rectangular diode pack molded to a heat sink usually with three or four wires on it..including the grey tach "sender"... |

Add another one to the list.
I just picked up a Faria for mine on the Walmart website. Lowest price I could find..."ship to store" so no S&H
W/System Check Indicators so it was a bit more than $60
My Sys/Check Indicator lights and alarms worked fine....Needle on the Tach wouldn't move. |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
