portable tach use on a 1100 GoldWing

I'm trying to adjust the carbs on my 1100 GoldWing with CDI ignition,
and the manual says to use a handheld tach to aid in adjusting the idle
mixture. The meter I have is a tach/dewll meter with two clips, like
battery charger clips. Where do I connect it to get a tach reading?

 

On mine, I connect the tach lead to the low tension negative
lead coming off the ignition coil. I made up a Tee type fitting
so there's always a spot to connect the tach without having
to pull the tank and screw with the wiring.

Tachs generally want a switched ground to connect to.
There should also be a built in diode on the tach lead to
prevent the coil from grounding through the tach.

On my wasted spark twin, I use an old Sears analyzer on
4 cylinder narrow band setting, multiplying the RPM by two
to get the real RPM.

 

there are two coils on the wing.
connect to the primary of one of them.
one wire is 12 feed, the other will be the one you would use.
good luck

Google translates this as

me in ingles that I do not understand anything if you return to me to
write in ingles I do not respond but post office to him

So that pretty much clears it all up.
