The Story:
So while ago I noticed my Tach was glitching (bouncing around and reading way higher than I was actually reving at) while Im driving and then began to just Peg out at 8K as soon as the engine starts.

I knew it was Tach related and not wiring cuz if i hit the dash it would Peg out if it was bouncing around.

So i pulled it out today to check it out and see if I could find anything oblivious wrong with it.

Well couldnt see anything that stood out so with the engine running and custer pluged in I was doing the "Wiggle Test" well when i was screwing in the Tach "Signal" screw I noticed that the Tach would jump.

Pulled out the Tach and inspected the Signal screw solder points to see that i looked like the Solder points were cracked.


The Fix:



Just took a Soldering Iron to the solder joints of the screw plate and bam she worked again! Dont Add Solder just "Re-Melt" Them

So if you got this issue try this before trying to source a "Newer" Tach.
Its Free and Easy

FYI: This was for a Kouki S14, Not sure if the Zenki is the same way, But just look for the Words "Sig" on the top side of the board


Old thread bump.... what points is he referring to?
