    OK, seems like the sensor with the blue tracer has solved the SLOW condition. You still have a random ignition miss and a crazy tach…
    I don’t think the two situations are related, doesn’t seem likely you have a bad ignition charge coil and a bad alternator winding, but anything is possible. Does this engine use the simple three wire rectifier, or does it have the big ol aluminum regulator rectifier? It seems like the 1990 models still used the simple system with the three wire rectifier, can’t remember though. Joel, you were mentioning something about a stray lead on the back of the tach that you grounded to the aluminum frame that seemed to calm the tach down…Anymore info on this?
    Sorry to be absent here, been battling a no hot water situation….I feel like the three stooges, down stairs banging on pipes and cursing….
