Default revs all over the place

speedo doesn't work on my cossie and now the revometer just started playin up yesterday

its wierd, it revs ok til 3k then them meter goes up really slow til 4k

after that it freezes up then jumps right off the scale and bounces back n forth.

any ideas what could cause that?

ah the joys of owning a cossie! every other day something breaks on the peice of shit!

ah is it that the controls the rev meter?

so just give connections a clean n see how it goes?

could the coil itself be fucked causing the fault?
