Electrical gremlin applies Murphy's law







****&%**&%@><_)(*&^
Everyone just worked their butts off trying to find the reason the tach didn't work.
Sometimes it flashed up and then dropped. Dan, Jamie and Yuri were assisting Werner chase the problem around the wiring. Unfortunately we have no wiring diagram for the tach and it doesn't seem to understand it is reading a diesel magnetic pickup.


As usual when this happens, in the maximum stress situation, we manage to create a dead short and the wiring begins to fry. No serious damage occurred but the beautiful wiring job that Werner had worked weeks making perfect fell victim to the gremlins. I feel very bad for Werner as he is stressed to the end of the line.

Final decision is to "Run What We Brung "
