How about the forks? I was wondering if they were aluminum, I'd like to anodize them if possible. Can I strip the chrome if so and still do it?
14.7 is where the cutoff point should be, and 13v at idle is just right, so your charging system sounds up to snuff. I haven't looked through the old posts yet, but if you are using a cheap small battery with E-start and thin wiring to the starter, the battery will be toast in no time.
What brand of tach is it? The cheaper the tach, the slower it will refresh, which will be seen as a delay in the reading. No getting around that unfortunately. My speedhut gauge is quick as can be, but my Chinese digital readout tach only updates every half second, and boy is it slow to catch up to the Speedhut.
You have it hooked up right, that's the negative side of the coil. If it's not jumping around all over the place for no reason, it's a good hookup with no interference.
What would you want for another tach block-off?
