Hello group. I went to the lake the last three days. First day motor ran great all was working fine. The next morning put it in the water and motor wouldnt start. It would crank fine but wouldnt start. I could smell gas. Pulled cover off and when I pumped bubble gas was squirting out of a small pin hole on the vacuum switch. Afterabout 15-20 mins, it started and ran fine. Then I noticed tach is not working????? It will go up to 1000-1200 rpms and once it gets up that high it falls to zero. this a first for me. Could the fuel squitin out have anything to do with this. Today it started fine at he ramp and after fishing when I tryed to start it did the no start and I could smell fuel. I kept cranking and it finally started and ran and started fine the rest or the day. Any help would be great> Thanks Chris

Re: tach problems

Did you get the gas leak fixed ?? Your tach prob could be the rectifier/regulator, the stator or the tach itself.
