  Faria? Yes. When I start it indicates about 1300 then I tap it and it goes to about 800. As it moves around from throttle change it is not very accurate. Sometimes in cruise it will wander upwards and it needs a tap.

  Yes, it's a common problem in Faria tachs from the mid-2000's.  Sometimes it can be temporarily solved by re-seating the plug on the back-side of the tach, or chasing issues with ground connections.

  The Faria Walk ... yup. You can pull the gauge off. There's a dial in the back to select cylinders. Some times you can switch it off and back ... and it steadies out.

  I had mine rebuilt by Faria here in Ct. 3 years ago and last time out my port tach started to wander. Hoping it was just a long winter and things will steady out

  Faria gauges, aka the “tap-tap” gauges.

  Someone is selling the Kronos faria tach with hour meter on Amazon. Just in case anyone wants to replace theirs.
