Thankyou

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 .

Oh ok not he battery is fine nev no build up it’s just as the increased rpm the voltage to the battery and then in turn to the instruments also increases to a point where it’s sometimes around 18 volts now in my limited understanding I’d believe that the voltage regulator should limit to about 14.5 v max and increase the current for an increase in rpm while holding a steady voltage to a point where the battery is charged and then floats the current?
