Re: rev counter problem

Hi Eric - sorry to hear that ignition update to Kermit has led to tacho problems.
You are not alone in this it seems
Early electronic tacho are designated RV1 type and often do not work well, or at all, with electronic ignition conversions.
Later models are designated RVC type which are usually ok.
There is a Lumenition Tech Sheet 15 on the subject, I will email you a copy.
There are various rewires done for the RV1 tachos but if you get it wrong you blow-up the ignition module.
The recommended method seems to be to get the RV1 modules redone internally.
Speedy Cables at Swansea do this - see Tech Sheet
We got Rocket's tacho rebuilt by Alan Davis at The Gauge Shop, Edenbridge, Kent so he might be able to help.
