It's been so long--over 15 minutes--that I don't remember for sure,
but I might have put an 'extra' loop in the pickup terminal. And I
do recall the wire has to be oriented in one direction (not the
other).<br>

<p>This is the problem The tachometer may or may not work with a

Subject: [Healeys] Tach rebuild<br>
<br>
Hi Listers:<br>
<br>
The tach on my BJ8 does not show the correct
RPMs. On a cool morning it shows what I believe
is fairly close to the right numbers, but as the
car warm, or the day warms, it reads higher and
higher for the same speed. I know it is not the
clutch slipping. I saw some articles in Healey
Marque magazine showing how to rebuild and test
them, but it requires a oscilloscope and some
other specialized equipment I don't have, so I'm
wondering if you guys have a recommendation for
someone that might rebuild them.<br>
<br>
I imagine there is also some info in the archives,
but my antivirus software flags the archive site
as a malicious website and doesn't want to let me
access it.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any info.<br>
<br>
John O'Brien<br>
