Although this may sound stupid, be a little more detailed as to what's going on.

Sorry, it seems to be sticking as it climbs up with revs or back down. As the engine speed increases in a kind of linear fashion, the tach sort of steps it's way to a point say 1000, then waits for a bit then jumps to 1500, then waits again and jumps again to maybe 2100?!?!? I don't see it as a linear display like so many I have seen in the past, it seems to be sort of jammed/ jamming. Does the same on the way back down also.

I know the guages were changed or at least altered to allow for our funky and loved by none metric system, wonder if the needle is pressed back on too tight?

Wifey says I am famous for not enough information.... staying true to form I guess sorry about that TD!
