    Lazy tach

    Hi guys. I think I've got a lazy tach. When I was on the highway yesterday I noticed the tach reading around 8k and she sounded like she was in the red. Off the highway I noticed the tack stalling then spiking up at 8k. Anyone know how to fix this before I find a replacement.

    Thanks in advance

      Twice I've had the cable end that goes into the tach spinning on the end of the cable. How ever it happened the end came loose from the cable. I didn't notice until I pulled on it. Replace the cable and keep under 8k rpms

        I'll be interested in the solution. Mine stays at zero when I start it then in a few seconds catches up. It's fine the rest of the time.

            Amen!!!

            I noticed when mine start to bounce or become lazy I pull the cable out spay the inside with a chain/Cable lube then re assemble... Works pretty good...

                I'm pretty sure it's electric.

                  I was wondering if it was electric or not. Mine is electronic and tends to waver around at times. I haven't yet been able to detect a pattern though.

                    My pattern seems to be work perfect until you hit 8k then stay there until I crank it. Then spike up and fall back into place.
