Well done - it lives.

The tach has a variable resistor for adjustment. You can just get to =
it by
pulling out the illumination bulb and if your little finger is small =
enough
to get to that resistor and adjust the tach rpm.
=20
You should be able to find more information about the tach on Tom Hall's =
web
site or Tigers United.
=20
Most temp gages read wrong either a little or a lot. Mine is only a =
little
off.
There is an article at Tigers United that covers the temp gage.
=20
Voltage stabilizer can be the problem but the fuel gage would also be
reading wrong. Electronic voltage stabilizers are available.

Subject: [Tigers] THE TIGER LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hey, guys:
=20
I finally had the Tiger ready to start today and, with the help of an =
expert
racing mechanic buddy of mine, we fired it off. It ran great right off =
the
bat!!!! Actually, we had everything statically set pretty close to =
where it
needed to be. Once we had run the motor long enough to break in the =
cam, we
set the timing and tuned the carb until it ran smoothly. We had just a
little mid-range flutter in the carb under no load but, the longer it =
ran,
the more that seemed to clear up. I'll just have to see how that reacts =
in
the weeks to come.
=20
All is not perfect, however; we still have a couple of problems to work =
out.
The first is the fact that my factory original tach reads 300 to 400 rpm
higher all through the scale than it should. We ended up having to use =
the
tach on my engine analyzer to set the idle. Do any of you guys know if =
the
tach can be adjusted from the outside of the unit while it is in =
operation,
or am I just going to have to send it to someone like Nisonger to get it
calibrated? =20
=20
I've also got a problem with my temp gauge as it was reading hotter than =
it
should. Actually, it has always read hotter than the motor actually is.
While we were running it today, I had my shop fan blowing into the =
radiator
to help cool it off. I was also using my infa-red thermometer to check =
the
temps at various points in the engine compartment. The hottest reading =
we
got was on the thermostat housing itself with 201 degrees. The radiator =
and
upper hose read anywhere from 165 to 174 degrees. The problem is that =
while
all this was going on, the temp gauge on the dash was reading 240
degrees!!!! As when I had the old 289 in the car, it never spit a drop =
of
water, so I really don't think that the temp reading I'm seeing on the =
dash
is correct. I've considered that it could be the instrument voltage
stabilizer, but my fuel gauge appears to read correctly. Does anyone =
have
any ideas what it could be? =20
=20
Thanks for any advice,
Andy Walker
Edmond, OK
