Dummy lights flashing while starting?

While starting from a stop.. the dummy lights... all of them.. sometimes flicker on and off. Usually only when starting from a stop.. it won't happen when i'm cruising.

Could this be related to the belts and/or pulley?
I've never seen anything like this happen before..

check the pigtail behind the alternator. the lower wire is the power source for the gauges
