I don't know how to test a tach, but will give you one thing to consider.
When I first start my bike a lot of times my tach doesn't move at all, then
after 5 or 10 seconds, it suddenly jumps to life and works fine. I have NO
idea why this is.

Hi Ted.

I am sure the coil is good. And it is good to know where it is :) I thought
I may have a bad wire from the coil (negative side) to the tach. But when I
ran a jumper from the coil to the tach, the tach still did not work. I was
wondering if there isn't a way to bench test an electronic tach.
