Coil tach issue
So I flushed the engine over the weekend and today I filled it and was going to run it around to see how it worked but when I went to start it it just wouldnt turn over at all. The lights came on like usual but got a sound like the battery was dead, not enough juice to turn it over. There was no ticking or anything like that so I put a charger on it and waited. When I went to start it again it lite up again but I noticed that the tach (that is connected to the coil) was going crazy, so suspect that it is back feeding someplace. I went and looked and the old battery has some corrosion on the terminal and what looks like moisture around the base of the positive terminal. I know I didnt get it wet at all so is this acid or water from inside the battery? I dont know where to start when it comes to electric problems like this, any ideas? Do I just need a new battery? Can I tell where or why it is back feeding? Any other ideas?

wipe off the top of battery with
baking soda/water mix.
you never said whether it started after
charging bat.
i figure it has an ammeter.
when running if the ammeter doesn't flutter
maybe the electronic tach went south.
have a nice day!
