The tach on my 78 has always been a little squirrelly. The higher I rev the motor the more the tach needle jumps around. After a little troubleshooting I figured out the cause.
Turns out the thing you screw the tach cable into at the tach is loose. when I hold the cable taut, the tach works fine. I figured for starters I'd take the tach off the bike and see if tightening the two screws on either side would do the trick. Nope.
It appears that although the tach mechanism is tight, the piece the tach cable screws into is loose.
Before I tear this thing open, I'd like to know what it's going to take to tighten that piece to the tach mechanism?
Thanks,
JR
