kenny dock Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Dont know why this has just happened, had dash of, no loose connections. Also all joined up at coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd say 90% the green wire male to female connector at the coil end. That or maybe just a random rev counter failure but never heard of one going in 20 odd years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Power Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yep, I agree. I had one of the green wires break, inside the insulation, so it looked fine but was making no connection. On mine it was the coil wire not the tacho so no spark, took some finding, as when both ends of a visible wire are ok you usually assume the wire is ok!!

spiney_norman Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sounds like a dodgy earth somewhere to me. I had a Cavalier rev counter that shot up when I sounded the horn, cleaned all the earths on the body and it was fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
