according to my diagram there is black wire, as you say from the contact
breakers. there is also a blue black wire from + side of coil which is a
live feed switched from the ignition switch. there is also an earth.

ps. it can be hard to work out which way round wires go on tacho. there will
have been coloured paint blobs on underneath once, but they will probably be
gone now. best i can say is , bike won't start if connections reversed.

 I know that one black wire leads directly from the distributor stud to
one of the male terminals on the back of the tach (don't know which
one). What connects to the other male terminal? The wiring diagram
(which is NOT for a civilian Eldo) shows a blue/black wire from the plus
low tension side of the coil, but I think there is actually a blue wire
from the charge idiot light that connects to the tach.

TIA!
