i have the exact same dash on my monkey bike its a cracking little dash

to get the temp sensor reading you will need to reset the unit by holding two buttons down,

i have one and i will scan and post the manual for you, it will be in image files (scans) so the file size will be quite large, it might be better to send it as an email. unless those on here are happy for me to post the image files.

Just to point out..... Mine works very well, speedo is as accurate as you make it (i can get it to less than 1% out, about 0.5 mph at 80mph checked by satnav)

I have played with the tacho until i got bored, but it has never worked very well or accurately, (it was designed for motorbikes, not single coil car systems)

Temp sender as supplied was a direct fit into my Pinto engine.

Speed sensor is unreliable and expensive to replace (£20+) not a problem though because it is just a micro reed switch and they cost pennies (20p) from Maplins. go for the type than has N/C and N/O connections use the N/O (normally open) and retain the original holder, remove the old sensor (when it fails) and then fit the new one and glue it in with silicone sealer (you will have to solder the wires back on use small tails to the reed switch and solder these to the original connector wire)

I went through 2 sensors before i opened it up to see what was in there and fixed it myself. The VAPOR sensors lasted a few months and about 1000 miles before packing in, my replacement has done almost 2 years and 20000 miles without trouble.

engine temp can be seen by pressing once the middle button and it gives the temp on the top left of the screen as a permanent screen (still shows speed)

ooops should have read all the posts.....two above mine there is a link to a pdf.

i was sure there was a ignition pulse option so it will show revs on multiple cylinder engines?
as i am using it on a single cylinder bike not messed with it but it just wires up straight to the coil. but i am sure there is a option to change the PPR

i have used a vapor speedo on all the bikes i have built. you pu the rev snser on one coil, so you only need the pulse per revolution to be set to one.

they are cracking little speedos, and i will have one on my locost if i can.
