While I'm not intimately familiar with the workings of the "L-board," I find it difficult to account for the reversed RPM behavior without positing a logic failure on that board. Begin by unplugging the sender wire from the sender on the after face of the engine, just left of the crank pulley. Then run the engine and see what happens. What *should* happen is that with engine stopped, key on, you'll see blinking light but no buzzer. After you start, no light or buzzer until ~2000 rpm. Above that the light and buzzer should come on. Report your results. Yours, David
