Hi, last year when I rebuilt the top end on my cb550, I discovered why my tacho reading was so erratic. I found that the end of the Tacho drive gear was bent. I couldn't get the part from anywhere and after talking with Nurse Julie I opted to have a local welder heat it up and carefully straighten it. It was partially successful, in that it certianly was less bent but he didn't want to risk fracturing it so left it at that. Now I am back on the road running the engine in it's really bugging me to have the errratic needle all the time. I don't suppose anyone on here has one - part number 12431323000 - that they would be willing to sell?
