tach stopped working

Hey would anybody know why my tach would just randomly stop working? Ive checked the cables and its all connected right. I havnt heard of one to just randomly stop.

Thanks

We need model and year to help with your problem, But suspect broken tach cable from engine to tach.

If the tach is electric then more troubleshooting will be required. The condition of the electrical system such as clean electrical connectors, and no broken/melted wires makes some places to look.

sorry bout that. its a '78 kz650 and yes it is electric.

'78 650's have cable driven tachs from the factory, is yours aftermarket?

No its not aftermarket..i pretty sure that its the original cable to it

Order a new tach cabel. It is most likely the cabel.

It happened to me after I added clubmans.

THe cabel seemed fine, but after replacing it, the tach worked fine.

Other than that if the replaced cabel does not fix the problem, then it maybe the tach itself and you can find one on ebay for cheap or send it to Wired georges contact who refurbishes tachs for a relatively good price.
