The oil indicator light and the tachometer on a Honda 1990 BF50A has stopped working. The engine runs and starts fine. When the control harness is hooked up to a different engine the oil light and the tach work. When the engine is hooked up to a different control harness the light and tach work. One mechanic replaced the regulator rectifier assy (31600-zv5-003), the ignition control module (30580-zv5-003), and the pulser coil assy (30400-zv5-003). The oil light and tach still don't work. I started checking for a bad ground and the only other thing I could find was the lead wire (40219-zv5-003) going from the swivel bracket to the case extention had gotten hot enough to melt the insulation off the wire. All the other grounds seemed fine. Any ideas?

Honda 1990 BF50A? 50HP 1990? Didn't know there were any in 1990.<br /><br />Start with replacing the melted wire.
