As would I. My tach waits for some 10-20 seconds before registering
engine speed, and as soon as I rev the engine above 2000 rpm, it reads
about 1000 rpm high. 3 times in 15 months I have enjoyed seeing the tach
register engine rpms acurately. But only 3 times. I know it works once
in a blue moon. Please let me know if anyone receives any good "off-list"
responses to this dilemma.
