Check all of the connections first, and your points gap/dwell angle. They are as likely to be at fault as the rev counter.

Mine fluctuates as well. So I've been trying to work out what makes it move. Now I can't be certain but there seems to be done relationship between the moving and the accelerator pedal.

Be danged if I can work out quite what though. 8)

I have recently had great service from Classic Spares and engineering Ltd

Great communication and quick turn around


Might be better than sending abroad at the moment......
