Hey, I have a couple of nagging electrical problems. Haven't
delved in yet, but want to get any ideas.
One, my tachometer has suddenly started working only
sporadically. Sometimes it will work just fine and then I look
down and its stuck at, oh... say 3000 rpm, or wherever it was
when it stopped working. Even if I turn off the bike and tap on
it, the needle doesn't move. Is my tacho toasted?
The other is something that will probably just take a lot of
time and effort. Sometimes the bike just quits. No spark. it
just suddenly dies. I have had luck opening the headlight and
just fiddling around, maybe a short, but I still have power to
the starter and lights and all.
Anyway, give me any good suggestions you have and I'll store
them away for the troubleshooting adventure that lies ahead.
Thanks
Ted Ward
