battery drain

to all the fellas that helped me with my battery going dead problem. I found the reason that my battery was going dead after sitting a day or two was that I had the tach hooked to a steady power supply. I unhooked the tach and now no problem with the battery going dead! So if I hook the tach back up I will not hook it to a constant power source. Learned the hard way. Again thank you all for the help!!!!
