Wanted a voltage regulator 582

[Red]

Bttery is fine?, check the acid/water level, dunno how long you've run it that voltage but it would have been gassing

might be why he needs a new tacho

The tacho on a 582 works from a single independent coil on the stator. Two wires from that coil go to the tach, no 12 volts involved.

The clear square type I think the original 

That type supplied with the 582 requires a minimum load of 1 amp to regulate correctly. The voltage will go high with no load.

That’s why I’m suspicious of the regulator because the current was 7 amps to the battery so in essence more than 1 amp and I think the tacho has just had its day maybe and thanks to Brendan for his advice and offering of a spare one I do appreciate it a whole lot .

Voltage above 15 or 16 volts can damage / destroy internal components of 12 volt instruments, radios etc as a general rule.  I've seen over voltage (16V DC as an example) destroy a boats depth sounder (screen went black across and voltage display showed 16.8 volts at the time) and took out the VHF marine GME radio.

They do better than original replacement regulators etc for lots of bikes and at least the Rotax 912, which I have. I couldn't immediately see if they have your one but worth a shot.
