Dear fellow SOLers,
As you can guess I still don't own a decent electrical layout for my 
Midget - but it's comming! So I can't RTFM.

My tachometer wasn't working anymore and somehow behaving flaky. So I 
went to the junk yard and got me a "new" one for $10. I even got an 
idea of the cables that used to be attached to that meter. I connected 
the green/white cable and the cable from the ignition coil to the tach. 
The ground cable and the light bulb should be attached too. 
Now it works fine - until I switch on my lights. Than it's dead on 0rpm.

Does anyone actually know what in a '71 Midget the green/white cable 
comes from? I was attached to my previous tach, too.

I appreciate helpful hints!
Thanks,
        Agustin
