(I think) all BJ8s have an electronic tach. Mine read high until I
calibrated it--it's
a simple process; just adjusting a trim pot(entiometer) on the back. I
think this
process is documented somewhere.
I'd try that before I'd "rebuild"--not sure there's much to rebuild in
there (esp. if
it's reading high).
