Calibrating Tach?
« on: June 25, 2014 - 04:54:36 AM »
Is there a way to calibrate/rebuild the rallye tach without sending it off and having someone else do it? My tach is about 400RPM over.

I did some more searching and found the RTE site.  http://rt-eng.com/rte/index.php/RTE_67-74_Tach_kit

I was about to order the circuit board but then I read the description on there and learned that the factory tach actually has a potentiometer built into it. Have you tried adjusting that pot and did it help at all?
