RE: [DML] Tachometer Flicker

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try running a separate ground wire directly from the battery to the tach
ground. If the flicker stops then it IS a ground problem. Otherwise you're
just chasing your tail.

You say you "Tightened" the ground connections. The proper procedure is to
dismantle the connection, clean down to bare metal with a wire brush or sand
paper, and re-assemble. Some use silicone grease or chassis grease on the
bare metal to resist corrosion.

<I see NO ground wires in the vacinity of the RH or LH horns...where 
are the wires that are supposed to be grounded by the LH horn bracket 
supposed to be coming from?> The horns have two wires, purple/black and
black. The black wire is the ground wire.

OK, I checked and cleaned fuse #1. I have a new rotor, cap, wire and 
plugs.

I checked to see if the flickering was affected by loading and it 
doesn't change with lights, A/C, fans and or defroster.

I tightened the main frame ground by the RH trailing arm bracket.

I tightned the auxilary ground on the RR frame member.

I see NO ground wires in the vacinity of the RH or LH horns...where 
are the wires that are supposed to be grounded by the LH horn bracket 
supposed to be coming from?
