My tach started reading 1,000 to 2,000 too high. Sometimes the needle jumped around, other times it showed RPM changes correctly but way too high. I replaced the tach and the new one does exactly the same thing. Any suggestions?

Jim,
Check with Kevin Waite. I seen him about a month ago and he said he had a couple of tachs on hand. His # is 541-953-6162. I'm sure he can help. I had to replace mine a couple years ago, not to hard to do.

Jim,
I believe your alternator is on the way out. The tach gets its signal from the alternator. When replacing be very careful that the replacement alternator is the right one. Some have an internal voltage regulator and some have an external. Whichever one is used may affect the wiring to get it right.

Jim, before you do anything else, check the ground connection behind the tach and beneath the instrument pod. Cleaning it fixed my erratic tach.

Loose wire or bad ground would be my first guess.
