Re: [DML] Tach and voltmeter needle jump

The problem you are describing is typical of an inconsistent ground connection. Most common location is the group ground connection located on the front frame extension.

Subject: [DML] Tach and voltmeter needle jump


I'm hoping for a few suggestions for something that happened over the weekend.

My wife and I were on our way to a local event on Sunday morning when
suddenly the tachometer needle started jumping, then settle in about 1200
RPM too high. It continued to occasionally jump, then either go back to
normal, or back up to the same 1200 high a number of times as we drove.

Around the same time, but NOT at exactly the same time, the voltmeter
needle jumped a little bit. Unlike the tach it stayed at the correct level
most of the time, then would suddenly swing wildly over a 6 or 7 volt range
for a moment.
