Re: Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

I am not confident that my tach will be fixed. However I received a few back issues of Epitrochoid and by chance there was a discussion printed of the tachs used on air cooler rotaries. It appears to be saying the tach AN is selling would work as a replacement. https://andover-rotary.co.uk/rt/shop-d...

Re: Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

Thanks for the response, I have found someone in the states to repair it, as I believe I have isolated the problem to the tach itself, also the speedo trip odometer reset does not work. The person repairing the tach believes he has found a solution smiley , , I will let everyone know, the outcome

Re: Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

one clue that will not go away is the tach malfunction, with the key on, I unplugged each connector in the wiring harness one by one. It did not change with all the connectors unplugged, so it has to be the tach or the binnacle wiring, visibly it seemed good.

Does the Classic share its dash with any other rotaries?

Does the Classic share its dash and indicator lights with any other rotaries? I could use a better one.

Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

The tach on my Classic goes to 10000rpm and stays there when the ignition is switched on (not started). Where should I start to look when trouble shooting?
