Bandit 250xp auto feed not working

[AP1017]

The auto feed on this chipper stopped working. Notice the rpm reading 0000 on the IEC diagnostic controller. Is this an issue with the IEC controller or the tach sensor. I have cleaned the sensor and adjusted it. I have ohm the wiring from the controller to the solenoids. All wiring seems intact. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had to replace the tach sensor on my Bandit 150XP when I first got it. Unfortunately I had to buy it through a Bandit parts dealer since all I had was their part number. But when I got it, I googled the generic part number on the sensor and realized I could have bought the same thing for a quarter of the price. Cheap and easy fix if you can do it that way and certainly worth ruling out before replacing the controller.

904-0009-21 is the bandit part number for my machine.

Mine is an older model so definitely a different sensor. But maybe try searching for a mag pick up based on your engine model, then confirm the length and threading and I bet you’ll find one for half the price or less. You may have to wire the plug from the old one on though (which I had to do anyway even after buying the part from a Bandit dealer).
