So I recently reached out to someone who had a tacho assembly after trying to problem solve my way through all the wiring in my EP82.
With a little help from an unknown person who worked with MR2 clusters, he advised me to replace 2x 10uf 50v Capacitors on the board.
I thought id give it a go with my original one out of the GT as it didnt move at all, The 2nd hand one I put in wasnt reading right at all. What was the worst that could happen.
The new caps will be double the size, I thought I had the wrong ones but they dont sell any smaller than that anymore.
The 2 caps that need replacing are the electrolitic can looking ones. They are dark blue and mine unfortunatly had no marking visiable to the eye. I suggest trying to replace them without pulling the needle off as to save youself some calibration and trial and error. With the clock facing upright, look to the side and the top cap is negative towards you. The lower cap is negative down.
Such a simple fix, not much information online.
Hopefully this helps someone.
