Subject:'86 Westy, troubles continue

Yesterday after about an hour of driving the engine started to briefly cut
out.  It would stumble and the tach would drop to zero and immediately shoot
back up and oscillate until it settled as the engine caught.  Did this
repeatedly, and it wouldn�t idle very well. Made it home �two footed� to
keep the engine from dying.  

 

Hall sender?  It�s the only thing I haven�t checked, and since this is
intermittent I doubt I could tell anything from the checks in the Bentley.

 

Ideas? Or just install the Van Caf� Hall sender?
