        You may not be, but the town you live in is.

        Other than finding a good working tach, there are no other options to repair your tach than the solutiion has been started but not finished. At least not that I'm aware of so far.

              Dan...former Hazeltuckian here. I was at John R. and Madge ( 8 1/2 mile ) and at one time I lived over on Leroy in Ferndale. Get yourself up to Royal Oak and get involved in bike nights up at Starbucks.
              MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
              1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

              NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                Hey, Bronco. No worries about the bad news, I did not realy expect a quick or cheep fix for this one. I have plenty of others to handle.
