2000rpm without the carburettors

Rather than re-chrome I bought a new bumper.
It's easy to throw money at an MG almost everything is available.

Of course now the lamp surrounds look a bit scruffy!

Having fitted the magnetronic ignition I then fitted the Tacho lead to the coil as this had been waiting for me to find the little plastic clip that the white wire wraps around for the tacho pick-up.

Now the tacho is indicating 2000rpm.

I thought the tacho was a pulse counter. Pulses ÷ 4 = rpm. But the current drawn by the magnetronic module also has an effect.

A quick search of the internet shows that this isnt just my problem so I'll look at the solutions and see what's best.

First thing is to supply the magnetronic module from a seperate source to the coil.
