Post subject:  Sticky tacho
Hi all, my 248 has bit of a sticky tacho. If you tap it it jumps into life. T

he dealer said he looked into replacing but the surround was a different colour so left it - he was told that apparently its down to lack of use and would probably rectify itself.

I'm keen to get it working just so i can work out my optimum fuel efficiency speeds and all that. Does anyone have any thoughts on the tacho - can thy be stripped or best leave off like he says?


Thanks

Nicksten

I have a sticky tacho too. Very annoying and hasn't rectified itself like some people say.
I haven't tried it yet but sometimes there is an adjustment on the back for different engines. Someone advised if I change that setting and change it back it might rectify.

Thanks babbot, I'm on the boat this weekend so will have a look. Presume its just surround off and follow your nose?

They will; I set one to them a few years ago. I did post it to them when on holiday in the US. The price Faria charged included shipping back to the UK. I was a new tacho they sent. No problem with customs here etc as it was classed as warranty replacement.

If I remember correctly, the shipping cost from the UK would have been significant. Worth checking first.

Every year or so I have to fix.
Remove the dash panel so you can get to the back of the tach.
There is an adjuster for different engines (4, 6, 8). Move the adjuster thru the positions and back to the original setting.
The problem is the contact corrodes over time/winter.
