Mario,
It IS normal for the tach to read too high when it gets old.
According to Mr. Tach (Mark Olson) its probably the big capacitor
inside. There is an adjustment inside to let you put it
where it should be, see the tech tips (and Mark's Tiger web
site). Sounds like a good design that fails on the high side,
but a design that changes RPM with dwell angle???
