Rev counter died

[Townaceclive]

Well there was I saying not a thing has gone wrong, so it has.

Rev counter, tachometer or whatever you call it starts with engine and runs for about a minute and then dies. A good bash on the dash makes the needle bounce.
Start engine again and same thing. I'm guessing at a dry joint somewhere but where?
Sender on back of the fuel pump, one of the many connections in between, or the counter itself. I have spares of both ends and most likely bits in the middle but if anyone has been there and fixed it let me know before I change the lot. Funny how much I used the counter rather than the speedo!

I'd guess it's not a dry joint as the problem would be more intermittent than that (IMHO).

If I had to guess, I'd go for sender, but it'd just be a hunch.

Well I think that would be an ecumenical matter

But in the best spirit of the ecumenical movement you should follow the following advice

Often been said about me!

I'll try the in car route first, if all screws are tight I'll switch in another while I'm there.

Thanks.

Dont know if it is the same with these old girls but if the rev counter played up on our lorries it usely was because of a fault with the altornator
