check the plug next to right side battery i have seen plug get dirty and melt down

You also test tach sensor DVM all have to do is plug tach set DVM on AC between 20 40 volts take the leads to the end on plug on tach sensor have someone throttle up the motor volts should move up when you thorttle and and come down as let up

just thought of this. to the driverside of your fuel filter down next to the water neck will be your electrical harness. somewhere down there will be a little 1"x 1" block that plugs in. that has to do with the tach. forget what the proper name is right now.
