1) trailing coils/igniter sends the tach pulse signal, so check it first for loose connections & a good ground (metal-to-metal contact from igniter body to chassis)
2) if the rest of the gauges are working, then you've got a good fuse/power/ground to the tach- they all use the same sources (unless it's a connection at the back of the tach itself)
