Tach problem

I am having problems with my tach. With the key off, the needle is pegged. When you crank it, it drops down to zero, then once it starts it goes back to pegged. Any ideas???

Re: Tach problem

There is a tech article at home page I think. It tells about putting in a new resistor or diode I cant remember which, but I followed the steps and mine works perfect now. If you cant find it let me know and I,ll try to help more.
