<DIV><FONT size=2>This tach should be the voltage triggered type (RVC on the
dial) which could stop the engine if the trigger wire from coil to tachometer is
being shorted to earth somewhere, which could be inside the tachometer (which
would be a new one on me) or in the wiring. If disconnecting the
white/black wire at the tachometer allows the engine to run normally,
then the tachometer is the problem. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>If not then it could be the wire, so temporarily
disconnect the two white/blacks from the coil -ve and run a temporary wire from
there to the points wire that comes out of the distributor. If that allows
the engine to run normally then the wire is shorting.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>But given this seems to have electronic ignition then
it's more likely that is the cause of the problem (consistently shutting off
after 20-30 secs), so that needs to be substituted with something else, as your
customer requested. It would also be why you have extra wires at the
distributor.</FONT></DIV>
