Seeing the thread on the speedo has reminded me to see if anyone out there has seen and knows the cure for a bouncing tech. Fine except around 3000 rpm when it's hot. When it's cold it's fine and low

Stuart, I do have the "don't look at the tach" option of course. Habit I suppose to look at it. Was a time when that was used for the road speed when the speedo was not working. Hmm, we could spawn a

The drive resistor value (it's actually marked on it) is 9.5 ohm. That's all I can contribute as that the only part I have. I did see a schematic once (me thinks it must have been on the web) of one
