Tachometer reading problems-59"
Hi,
Recently bought a 59 with some problems with the tachometer.
It´s supposed to be "gone trough" but the reading shows exactly twice as much as the actual rpm.
When the engine spins at 1500rpm the tachometer reads about 3000rpm.
I suppose someone out there could tell what could be wrong!?.
Thanks alot in advance.

just a thought.
Is there a "ratio" adapter on the back where the cable hooks up?
also, do you have the correct pulleys?
Check that at make sure its correct.
