Default Saph rev counter mod

I was told there is a common resister that packs up in the saph clocks which causes em to stop working, and these can be easily replaced / bypassed.

Anyone know n e more info?

Its the cap next to the coil in the green wire pal. Unplug it and link the 2 connectors together.

ah, im getting a reading off a voltmeter for the green wire in the multiplug behind the clocks so I've put it down to a faulty rev counter its self.

Thought this resister was actually inside the revcounter.

maybe try another set of clocks jim, thats what Im gonna try,

there is a fella breaking a cossie with a set of clocks in the cossie parts section for £20.

they're no good to me as they are the 4 cylinder ones which basically means the red line is in the wrong place.
