    Thaz right Harry. The gray sender wire from the tach should connect to either the yellow or gray & yellow wire at the rectifier. Is the rectifier okay? Is the battery charging?c/6Hooty

    No! I found out that the rectifier is probably not working. It does not charge the battery and the tach is not working allright and I get strange ohm readings when testing.

    If the rectifier is bad, the tach won't work.c/6Hooty
