We had a problem with Van's 2 1/4" electric tach, starting with app. 30 hrs 
on the aircraft. Van's did replace the tach generator, but same problem emerged

after app. 5 hrs.The needle would just flop around intermittently or drop to 
zero. The fix was to ground the shield on the wire bundle from the tach 
generator to the tach. (Van's instructions for the tach say it is not necessary
to 
ground the shield) Steady as a rock ever since.
