    240 rev counter problem

    My tacho plays up also!, not wanting to hijack your thread, but I believe there are two types, negative and positive trigger, correct?, does that refer to the connections on the coil?

    Lancshire and Cheshire meet up!

    Well I try not to let it get so dirty that it needs 'washing'! I use a damp sponge followed by Greased Lightning polish, but it's the spray from the wheels that worries me.
