Tach problem

[Bob Benner]

Where is the sender on an 86PT40? I've had a similar problem to Steve's for a
while. I'd
like to free up the sender as well.

Secondly, suddenly the last time I got out with the bird my oil temperature
gauge went
south and read nothing. How would I troubleshoot that gauge, where is the
sender for it
etc.?

Lastly, there was a couple of posts on steering wheels recently. I had the
unenviable
experience of my wheel coming off in my hands a couple of years ago, this after
crossing
the great USA, and taking three maybe four trips around the east. Seems the nut
wasn't
torqued properly and it worked loose. I was EXTREMELY lucky that it decided to
come off
while I was stationary not while driving on the curves of US7 in Vermont. When
I put it on,
tightened the nut etc. I used locktite to seal the deal. I check the thing
periodically as
well, (just a little paranoid).

Bob Benner on beautiful LI, having just given my daughter away at a wedding held
here at
the farm for 300, (we cleaned up yesterday), looking forward to a get away to
Pennsy this
weekend. 86PT40
