RPM Gauge

[Robert Pierce]

I noticed last time out that my RPM gauge needle was sticking and slow to respond to changes in RPM's. Any suggested maintenance or fix?

Thanks

Robert: The same thing happened to me on my 25D about two years ago. According to my mechanic, replacement was the only solution. Halcyon #30

You might check the alternator belt for slippage. Mine does that when the belt is too loose.

WAIT........... before you replace the tach......follow the sending wires back to the alternator.........I had the same "sticking" problem, but in actuality, it was just a bad connection at the alternator connections.........(blue/yellow and Orange wires are what I THINK are the tach sending wires). It cured my problem. Hope this helps.
