UPDATE:
took 'vette out for drive - now I KNOW the tach is out!!

Cruising at 60mph, tach is showing 4,500rpm....

Go the zero right, so when power is applied, tach reads zero.
But it just isn't right when driving.

WILCOX, thought about purchasing your generator, but bit $$ for one problem.
Can I send to you for "adjusting"?
Happy to pay reasonable $ for correct tuning, as I''m in Oz, freight will be a little bit more from you to me and I'd be keen for super-fast, trackable FED-EX (or similar) as I dont want to lose the L82 tach

Is tach removal simple?
What's the next step one I get it out??

Thanks for the help

Russell

Thanks for reviving it as it will save me the search to do the hard wire check out today. Should that fail, I'm going to guess the tach itself is bad.
