A lot depends on what kind of control box you have.

If it's a side mount, the tach may be plugged into the box right below the key. It's a three pronged plug.

Temp. guage senders usually attach to a head bolt. Starboard (right) side top is best.

i got the temp sender sc reweded in to the block at the the little tupe and the bottom of the pawer head i guess its called the bypass tube and the tach issue i cleaned the terminals and it works more now but still cuts off
BUT if i tap on the rectifyer/regulator it will kickback on

DISCONNECT the battery.

1. Remove the rectifier and check the mounting (ground).

2. Remove the negative battery lead from the engine block and clean it thoroughly.

3. Reinstall the battery connections. You should NOT be using wing nuts.

You rectifier may be on its way out but many times it's just the ground.
