On the Cat 3116, there is an engine speed sensor (part 4) screwed into the driver's side of the bell housing (TM 9-2320-365-20-3, 7-38, Page 406). Two questions...
1.) Are replacements available? Is it a military or civilian part?
2.) What does it do? Is it only used for a tachometer (which I don't have), or does it do other things too?
I'm replacing the engine, and mine appears broken (fine copper wires unraveling out the nose of it). I'm curious if I'll be able to get the new engine running without one, or do I have to get it replaced before I can start it up.
Thanks!
