tach cluster electrical problem

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I had/have this problem on my cabby. Your ignition switch can also be
faulty.

I went from this problem being pretty regularly 50% of the time, to less
than 5% of the time when I replaced the switch with a used one that I knew
worked...

HTH, JT (the posting whore today  :)
