The tach is just a fork of the black wire going to the first coil.

The fuel gauge should just be light green/black from the sender directly to the gauge.

Thanks Bill. I was riding it all day yesterday, and after posting here, the fuel gauge started to work. Then later on, both the tach and speedometer came to life. All were working today on a short ride to the gas station. Just odd, I guess a short or something.

One thing I noticed is that it doesn’t seem that the speedo is reading the actual speed. It was reading 70 when it felt like I was closer to 55-60 mph. Is that common on bikes or this one? Going slower than what the speedometer is displaying?
