its probably something to do with the tach wire or the kill switch, disconnect the gray wire at the tach and see if it still does it, look around at the gray wire's routing, also look at the black/yellow wire as well.

If it's not something previously mentioned, it could be a shorted coil or bad plug wire. Check the plug wires by running the motor in the dark and look for arcs. If it's a coil arcing out the back you might hear a snapping sound when it arcs.

thanks guys. I'll take a look. The tach and fuel gage (both new within two years) are having issues so I wonder if its related. Tach jumps and fuel gage goes straight to full when I turn the key on. Neither did this when I installed them. Hopefully I'll get some spare time this weekend and track it down. Too many projects and not enough time.
