A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Man I hate electrical, evertime I jack with it......
No, your tach has effect on your tach...
LMAO) but basicly Jim (pos) and I and a couple of other people have been lookin at this, and it is the board, the caps, and eventually, the main chip that start to burn out that cause the tach to freak out. I have a spare board and gauge pack that im going to send to Jim for him to look at, and see what that chip sees and then converts whatever signal to to make the tach work. Hopefully, at some point, we'll be able to find a modern, easily obtainable replacement chip, and if necessary, print new boards to install. The theory that ive seen most is that the capacitors, which are electrolytic, (basicly just batt acid soaked into cardboard and wraped up and sealed) dry out, and this starts the process of burning everything else out. Another thought is that the board is set up to look at a 12 or 12.5v signal at the coils, which if everything is working right, ISNT what its going to see, and the over current is whats doing the damage after time...Dunno for sure, but hopefully soon we'll have formulated a fix...
Gotta clean the contacts too..part of the problem is after its worked loose, it will corrode rather quickly, especially if it still has a partial connection there..
