Thanks for all the help w/the idiot lights and the kotter pin question. Also in the process of getting the tach to work. Robbed the tach cable off the old 8000 and hooked up to the "new" 8000. It spun like a helicopter. Robbed the old 8000's tachometer (which I'd bought several years ago - used) and put on the new, hooked up cable, and the needle bounces all over the place. I remember having this problem when I first bought it and put it on the old 8000. Finally got it to work right by not screwing the cable down tight to the back of the tach. I've tried that, routed the calbe a few different ways, and I can't make it work right. Not sure where to go next. Anyone else had this problem? Who works on tachometers?
