    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Tacho problem - GS550?

Not really electrical (mechanical?), but couldn't think of where else to put this?

The tach on my '79 GS550 is playing up - reading slow and moving slow. I've replaced it with the one from my "in-progress" '78 GS750. I'm looking at the unit and wondering if it can actually be repaired easily or if it's just easier to get another one?

Any thoughts/comments?
 
Is the needle jumping at any stage? If it is the most likely cause is wind up of the cable. I tore into my tacho and found a lot of interesting stuff, becoming an expert bezel crimper en route. It was unneccessary.
I should have attended to the cable first and maybe shot a little light lube into the tacho input spindle.
Magnets have been reported as 'going off'.
