My current Eldo is a police model so I can't look on the bike but my
Chiltons shows the tach in the diagram even though there are no turn signals
shown. It shows the center wire on the tach as black and going to ground, a
blu-black wire going to the positive terminal on the coil, and a black wire
going to the negative side of the coil. I used this hook up on my last eldo
and it worked.

 You must be looking at the same (incorrect) wiring diagram I have. If
you look at the civilian Eldo diagram in the old service manual, it's
the same as that of the Ambassador, and has no turn signals or front
brake light switch. I don't think an accurate diagram exists for the
Eldo.

live feed switched from the ignition switch. there is also an earth.

ps. it can be hard to work out which way round wires go on tacho. there
will
have been coloured paint blobs on underneath once, but they will
probably be
gone now. best i can say is , bike won't start if connections reversed.

 I know that one black wire leads directly from the distributor stud to
one of the male terminals on the back of the tach (don't know which
one). What connects to the other male terminal? The wiring diagram
(which is NOT for a civilian Eldo) shows a blue/black wire from the
plus
 
 
 low tension side of the coil, but I think there is actually a blue
wire
 
 
 from the charge idiot light that connects to the tach.

TIA!
