1 Acewell Tacho Question Fri Apr 17, 2015 6:38 pm

Appreciated the help so much with my starting issue that I thought I'd try this one also....
I have an Acewell 2853 on my 1985 K100RT. I'm using v.2 of Robmac's neutral light replacement card (which I seriously doubt has anytning to do with my issue). All is well with this set up except that the tachometer acts strange. It will jump up to way higher RPMs than are actually running. Unscientifically, it seems to do it most when I'm decelerating and am letting off the throttle. When I'm accellerating hard, it seems to register correctly. Before I put the Acewell on, I didn't have any tacho issues with the OEM cluster. I have the tacho wire hooked up to pin 16 from the OEM cluster, which is a blue/black wire.
Anybody have any idea what the problem is? Would I do better to just wind the Acewell supplied wire around a spark plug lead to get a better signal? Other ideas? TIA.
