1. Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Frank Clarici <spritenut@Exit109.com>; Date: Thu, 08 Jan 1998 19:14:28 -0500; Question to all Lucas Electrics Engineers Sprite, 1960 with negative ground tach (converted) Problem.....Tach quits when brakes are applied. Brake lights work fine, tach works fine except when brakes; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00277.html (7,761 bytes)
2. Re: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Gregory Kirk <gkirk@empirenet.com>; Date: Thu, 08 Jan 1998 19:20:07 -0800; Does it quit even if you apply the brakes at idle? Or does this just happen when it's moving? If it happens at idle, I'd look for something in the brake pedal/pushrod etc Linkages that's grabbing the; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00287.html (8,747 bytes)
3. Re: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Jeff Boatright <jboatri@emory.edu>; Date: Thu, 8 Jan 1998 23:04:10 -0500; Weird, but not unique in the world of Lucas. My tach bounces with the clicks from the fuel pump, even with the engine off (key on). Continues with engine on. Rather than being a mechanical problem (l; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00288.html (9,400 bytes)
4. Re: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Greg MAHNEY <mahney@central.murdoch.edu.au>; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 14:16:41 +0800; Jeff, I think you're onto something here. The first thing a mate said to me when I showed him the engine bay of my newly acquired Sprite was "OH! I see you have Lucas - Prince of Darkness, electrica; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00292.html (8,259 bytes)
5. RE: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Chris Kotting <ckotting@iwaynet.net>; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 07:27:53 -0500; The only other thing I could think of is that somehow the draw from the brake lights is causing enough voltage fluctuation to mess up the tach. (Is this possible? I dunno, is anything beyond the Pri; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00294.html (9,133 bytes)
6. Re: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: jphender@soli.inav.net; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 08:03:45 -0600 (CST); Does sound nutty. A crossed wire is pretty unlikely though. More likely, is a weak generator or a brake light circuit that is pulling too much current and diminishing the peak of the waveform such t; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00296.html (8,262 bytes)
7. RE: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Dave Formstone <dformsto@compusmart.ab.ca>; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 15:43:29 -0700; Frank Clarici, Here's my 2 bits. First off I am assuming that the electronic tach is of an older vintage. What this means is that the current draw is significantly higher than the tachs of today.

8. Re: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Frank Clarici <spritenut@Exit109.com>; Date: Fri, 09 Jan 1998 18:45:05 -0500; Thanks for all the replys to my Lucas problem. I simply replaced the fuse box with a 4 fuse unit and fed the tach separate from the brake lights. This did the trick. I can only guess that because the; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00308.html (8,383 bytes)

RE: Lucas Problem (score: 1): Author: Dave Formstone <dformsto@compusmart.ab.ca>; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 21:27:49 -0700; Frank, as you are probably aware the wiring in a Spridget is marginal at best and if extra gismos are added the wires are just not big enough to handle the extra current. Glad you solved the problem.; /html/spridgets/1998-01/msg00318.html (8,469 bytes)
