Tach problem

[JC1933]

Hi everyone, I have a little problem with my tach,it stops at 900rpm when motor is turned off. Does this mean that i hafto get a new tach? seems ok on top side to 5500 to 6000 rpm. Thanks J.C.

Re: Tach problem

That is normal. <br /><br />That feature keeps the tach needle from sitting on the peg or the bottom of it's travel. It protects the needle and internal workings from vibration damage.<br /><br />You will notice that if you cycle (not start) the key one more time, some tachs will go to zero.
