BratRod Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Weberized Brat GL Been taken around the block almost everyday for the past week, and haven't had any problems. Still runs fine. Starts better in the cold than the Hitachi. Haven't modified anything involving the electrical system except for the stereo using stock power. The wire to the coil appears fine. Do these tend to fail? I haven't seen a scenario quite like this before. Thanks, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratRod Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 This problem has seemed to have solved itself for now. No idea what it was, went and started it up today the tach climbed and got stuck. Then it resumed to normal functioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) If your talking about the rpm gauge the wagon i sold had the same problem in cold weather. Once the cab warmed up it would work fine since it heated up the gauge. Edited February 13, 2014 by turbosubarubrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratRod Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wondered if it was the cold. Just didn't seem likely. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 My L series wagon has the same issue - but in the heat! It's the instrument cluster for some reason... The brumby with the factory 6 gauge instrument cluster doesn't have this issue...Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Can't say I recall any tach issues in the BRATs during the cold months, but the speedometers sure didn't like it. Could peg the needle in 1st gear. The '88 Wagon don't like the cold either. Both tach and speedometer read slow. Have seen tach jump 500-1000 rpm's when temps are in the 20* F or lower and I head on down the road for work in the AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
