Title: Tacho/Revs dial works interimitently, why?
Post by: GAZ666 on May 04, 2006, 07:40:00 PM
The needle on the tacho decides to stop working now and again, it does affect anything else engine wise....

What could be the cause of this?

Make sure the live terminal on the battery is secure; whenever my rev counte rjumps it\'s because the terminal is loose, a jon for this weekend is sorting it out properly...

When I had this problem I had to get a replacment tacho and just replaced it for the one that was dodgy, problem solved.
I think I may still have a spare if you want one, I shall have a look and let you know

Cheers
