Tacho needle bounce 1971 beetle
I've just fitted a Saas 52mm Tacho which works but needle bounces all over the place. Have tried the following. Made sure it was connected to
negative side of coil, fitted a resistor between coil and gauge, checked and changed earth wire, setting on rear is set right. 4 6 8 Other
suggestion is fitting a diode. Any ideas?

You'll need to install a diode between coil and gauge. I had the same problem.
