The one I had on my eldo drifted like it needed more spring tension against
the needle to give a truer reading. I never hooked either unit up but don't
want the rep of selling bad stuff either. Keep me posted on what you find
out. PS I installed electronic ignition on the unit i have now and by
looking at other guzzi tachs, some variation due to points is to be
suspected. Tom

It sort of drifts up and down varying by atound 2-3000 rpm. My research (dang I love this Guzziology book!) suggests 3 possible reasons: Points set too tight. Book recommends checking on both cam lobes. Dirty points--I've had problems already with this with this bike. Leads reversed. Or a bum unit--really doubt this one.
