Dead Instruments on my RGS

[GTCarlos]

Greetings All,

I finally got fed up with my ’83 RGS running like $&@ so I recently rebuilt the carbs and installed a Sachse ignition. Between the poor instructions and my “limited” electrical skills, that took a while but the bike (finally) runs great.

In doing the work, I removed and refitted the tank several times. Now the tach, fuel gauge and temp. gauges are non-op. Before I remove the tank AGAIN and start tracing wires, is there a ground (or anything else) common to all 3 instruments or did I just muck-up 3 separate systems doing the work? I know the Sachse box has a lead that drives the tach but I was pretty careful in ID-ing that circuit and connecting everything. I also made sure the fuel sender plug is connected (under the rt. front part of the tank).

Thanks for your thoughts.

I’d say you’ve inadvertently blown the 8amp fuse number 2.
Or possibly one of the three plugs on the back of the dash has become loose, did you remove the front fairing by chance..?

Back in circulation...

Thanks for the clues Andy. I'll check the fuse this afternoon. I didn't *remove* the fairing but I certainly moved things about quite a bit.

Regards,
