[C320-list] New Tachometer

[Gary Malcolmson]

Walt,

I recently had a similar issue with the tach on my 2003 C310.  From a 
message from Warren Updike on this C320 List I called Dennis Igarashi 
who was previously with Seaward in Whittier, CA, and who has now set up 
his own business, I think covering the Seward electrical items (panels, 
instruments and harnesses).  In my case Dennis suggested that I move the 
adjustment screw on the back of the tach a few times back-and-forth; 
then return it back to it's original setting.  This seemed to clean the 
internal contact and returned my tach back to working correctly.  Dennis 
did say that he could supply a replacement tach if that was needed.

His contact details:
3721 Capitol Avenue
Whittier, CA 90601

tel 562-699-7997 x210
cell 626-374-6422

Thanks, again, Warren.  And good luck Walt with this fix.  Hope this 
information helps.

Gary
C310 #230

The indicator needle still jumps around for a while and eventually will settle down. It has been erratic for the past few years, but when it does settle down I'm getting correct rpm for 2800 to 3000, etc. I've got 2 numbers off back of tach: P/N I believe is 40183, and the other number is PB27871.3.
