My rev counter slowly stopped showing the revs although engine running fine. From reading here I tried to find the "W" wire to the alternator, and then noticed fan belt very slack. Replaced fan belt with correct tension. To my joy the rev counter came back to life but I seem to have created an intermittent starting fault, which I am attributing to wiggling one of these wires. My short term solution has been to give another untargeted wiggle and engine has started - I have tried to induce the fault and see which wire but they all seem secure. Access is really not easy as the oil filter is in front of everything. Seems I need to remove the oil filter to clean up and redo the connections? If anyone knows which wire is which in the bundle from the alternator that would be a real bonus. (I do have the Beta wiring diagrams but struggle to make sense of them). To complete the picture the starting problem, when it happens, is that the lights on the panel come on as normal, but then nothing when I fully turn the key. I have not heard any clicks when the key is turned...complete silence.![20240815_195714 small.jpg 20240815_195714 small.jpg](https://ybw-data.community.forum/attachments/132/132638-7d02b97f01cdc0fd668713c1aa635917.jpg)
