Today was a nice day here in NY. I just fitted my new bilsteins and went out for a little spin. Handles much better, the KONIs where shot.

However, as I was driving my tach went out, it was always a little bouncy. I remeber from my beetle days that when the speedo got bouncy it was time to either change the drive cable or check the drive gear. I assume that the tach is not mechanical but, is there a way to repair/diagnose the problem with the tach?

Thanks,
Dan

Had a local aircooled mechanic replace my rear brake lines. When I dropped it off, the tach was working. When I picked it up, it wasn't. He was closed by then so I haven't been able to follow up, but I will on Monday.

In the meantime, I checked the black wire w/purple stripe from the coil as noted above, and it's solidly connected.

Anything else that may have been tweaked while it was on the lift?
