Tachometer issue

Post by dngmissett »

'
Im heading home from the Annual AACA Car Show in Hershey PA and my tachometer has me turning 2500rpm's in 6th gear Image Drops back down to between 15 and 1600 where it belongs in 6th and then starts jumping up and down between 25 and 1600rpm.  Happened several times WT_ is going on. Appreciate any input.

'Dick,

Is it just that tach jumping up and down, or is your engine rpm going
up and down with the tach also?

' Mine does that occasionally and if I tap the tach it comes back to normal.  Just sticking.  Should see if I can lube it.  I use and electronic anyway.
