DOH! I got it thanks!!!
Jumpering didn't work so I guess it is dead. There isn't another way to
test a tach is there?
Guess I'm looking at eBay or repair.
Thanks to everybody who told me to look up :)

Oh don't hate me for this one, but where is my coil??
I am trying to troubleshoot my tach, which "suddenly quit" according to
the
previous owner.
I seem to have a good ground.
I have continuity through the blue-black wire (should be positive side
of
coil).
I have NO continuity through the black wire (should be negative side of
coil).
I want to run an external jumper from the negative coil to the black
terminal to see if its a break in the wire. But I don't understand where
the coil is. I know so sad.
Thanks for your pity and help.
