The tach on my 86 bounces around quite a bit. It's generally accurate though and doesn't bounce around like it would if there were an intermittent connection. It just seems as though some damping part of the circuit has left the building.
I did swap in some newer, low mile 1991 coils when I got the bike but I would think that any damping of the signal takes place in the cluster, not at the coils.
I never really look at the tach while riding though so it's probably not something I'll bother to ever do anything about, just curious what the cause might be.
