Well, I finally figured out why the tach on my '71 Ambo didn't work
after I replaced a battery that went dead on the road a while back: I
installed the battery backwards! The strange thing is that the bike ran
fine and got me home that day. I guess it says a lot about the
simplicity and durability of these bikes to withstand some of the
hamfisted mechanics they're subjected to.
I did, however, have the presence of mind to flash the regulator to
reverse the polarity before I put the bike back into service.
