[Spridgets] Intermittant tach issues

[Dean Hedin]

The tach has three connections..+12, ground and the input signal from the
distributor (which the tach determines the rpm from).  There are other
wires, but those just hook up to lights within the tach.

Since your tach is basically functioning, I would say that there is nothing
wrong with the connection to the distributor.

When you hit the turn signals you start messing with the power, and that is
most likely what is affecting the tach.

Make sure the tach is properly grounded. If that does not resolve the issue
then you need to troubleshoot the 12v line to the tach using a multimeter.

Subject: [Spridgets] Intermittant tach issues

Due to the unusual amount of rain here in Pennsylrania this fall I have been
fighting with some intermittant electical problems due to my midget being
outside 24/7B  and the rust and corrosion that comes along with it.



Most recently this has developed in the form of a fluttering tach displayB 
While driving at highway speeds I noticed my take would bounce from 4200
down
to 3500 and back with no coresponding effects to the driveability so its not
a
physical engine issue i think.B  But I did notice I could initiate the
bounce
by using my turn signals.B  This implies an electrical issue ( I know ED
DUH!)
but where do i start?B  where does the electrical connection from the tach
connect with the turn signals? I see no drop electrically from the lights,
radio, engine performance, other gauges.B  so I am guessing its some loose
bullet connection but where?



I am open to suggestions but not critique of me not knowing how electricity
works or how to read a wiring diagram.B  I am aware of those and can do all
that but I am looking for a "hey ryan try this first" type of response.

Thanks in advance
