Why aint my rev counter moving

[CharlieHorse 0]

It used to stick occasionally when it was cold. But now after sitting in the garage for ages it wont move at all.

 

Is it a case of rag the *^&% out of it in every gear to gently pursuade it to move or is there a better way?

I think I'd start by stripping the clocks and looking for the problem myself.

Mine just randomly started working the other day so no idea mate, give it a rag and see what happens!

check the connector on the coil

mine went but it turned out to be a faulty schrick controller..........if you have a schrick then get an auto sparky to disconnect the schrick controller........then it should work...............if you don't have a schrick then i'd get him to check the ECU feed to the rev counter,then the rev counter itself.........if it turns out to be a faulty inst PCB then budget on £300-odd +VAT for that alone

mine does this all the time, a good slap on top of the dashboard usually does the trick!
