The '79 RX-7's, as well as the 80's I believe used the Tachometer as a Voltmeter when the car is "on" but not running. That would explain the tach bobbing

As for the blowing fuse - which fuse is it blowing?

For the not starting - Pull the fuel line off of the carb, turn the key "on" and see if fuel comes out... it should come out fairly quick (1100ml in 60 seconds) so make sure there is a container under there!

If you have fuel, then pull out a spark plug, set it down on the fender edge, crank the engine, and watch for spark as you crank it... works best when it's somewhat dark out


Goog luck!
