Weird factory tach problems....

Damn, that's not good. My Autometer needle stays wherever it was when shut off. That is, if you "blip" it up to 2K or so and grab the key, the needle stays at 2K. But I'm sure that meter movement is not that type, although I could be wrong. Is there only two wires going to the meter from the board?

If you can't get any satisfaction from RTE, and if you want to mail it to me, I can try and check it out. I don't however, have an equivalent meter to hook it to. I'd have to hook it up to a test meter and just see if it responds with RPM, etc.
