choke light? did it come unplugged?

interesting things that went off.
do you have a wiring diagram?

at this point i can't see a link between tach and volt meter.
quess check where the wires run and see if they got cut, pinched, or grounded.

Without me having my wiring diagrams here at the house...I would guess that you lost power...especially to the CHOKE relay

I need to look a wiring diagram to clarify or further advise...so i might bring it home tomorrow.
