I bought this bike used from the original owner, and he let it sit for 6 years. Cleaned the carbs and it ran fine. I've just started having an intermittent electrical problem. The bike will be running fine and if I happen to be looking at the tach it will fluctuate wildly (just the tach, not the engine) then the engine will die. A friend who was following me told me when this happens I loose my tail light at the same time. After a few seconds the bike will come back to life and come back to idle without my having to hit the starter.
So, I've poked around a bit, and can't find any loose or broken connections, all the fuses are good, and all the connections I can find I cleaned. Still no good. So, could a failing part, such as the CDI cause all of this?
I appreciate any help.
