The problem Mike is experiencing sounds more like a voltage regulator
issue. If you have a digital volt meter, connect it to the 28 volt
buss. Run the engine up and see if the voltage stabilizes after the
engine RPM gets above about 1200 RPM. I don't know if you have a 52 or
a CJ. If it's a 52, there is a rheostat (slotted screw) on the left
side by the flap lever that you can adjust the voltage level. It should
read about 28 volts when the engine is running between about 1200 rpm
(41%) and WOT (100%) or 2900 RPM. You can also push the Volt meter
button in and read VOLTS on the inner scale of the instrument (the small
gold letters).

Hey Hoser,
Mark Bitterlich seems to be the electron guru around here and if you
say some nice things about the most elite fighting force in the world
he might answer. I don't think it's unrealistic to have voltage spikes.
Would it be possible to put a transorb surge protector in the power lead
for your tach? (not the P-lead connection). Don't know, but I know they
are cheap and you can get them at radio shack. Glad to hear the
instrument has some built in protection..pretty pricey
What you been up to?
Semper Fi,
Wiz
