Default 1975 FXE Superglide

I bought this 1975 Superglide FXE 47 years ago at the AFEES Subic Bay, Philippines. I'm having a lot of trouble getting my tachometer to work. It has to be either an electrical short or grounding problem. Occasionally the tach will work for a short period of time then goes dead forever. Anyone have experience with the '74/'75 tach's and getting them to work. The tach itself is good changed the stator alternator still nothing. If you can't help do you know someone who might have the "old school knowledge" who can?
Thanks,
JoeZeppy
