RaceR Tech tacho blown!

steroidauto · 27th November 2004, 01:03

hey u guys i need your help, i had bought a tacho with a switch light (company: RaceR Tech) from Opera house and fitted it on my carb Zen. It barely worked for a day and blew. After much haggling i was able to get a new replacement which worked perfectly for about 10days but blew again. i cud see a bit of smoke and get a burning smell. There is no hope in hell of gettin a replacement so am lookin for someone who can repair it. If u know anybody pls lemme know.
Regards
Amit

bought it for 3500 bucks.
Buying a new one seems to be the only option coz i cant find anyone to repair this one.

get an autogauge one for bout 2000(with a tiny shift light) at opera house...autogauge seem to be pretty decent...

Can anyone rate AutoGuage vs AutoMeter ?

autogauge is made by autometer, its a slightly lowerend product line from auto meter...they recomend autometer for the real high performane race use. autogauge is more than enough for street use.

but beware..the autogauge stuff that we get here are mostly made in thailand or taiwan...they are not the real thing..just imitations, but i guess it does the job (at half the price).
