Re:sry for the f-bomb but..... ---- THIS RPM SWITCH
I say Summit should put down the pipe.
They're expecting the RPM signal to trigger the relay? Man I hope not....imagine a mechanical relay turning on and off at 1000-8000 RPM. Relays weren't meant for that....that's what transistors are for.
This schem?
That's for after you get the switch wired in.
