I could say "Thats what you get for not buying Autometer"
But Google is your friend - Click this link:- http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category71_1.htm And you will see most of the tacho's on that site are not sitting on Zero - hope that helps..........

most electric gauges will sit at 6 o'clock (down) until they are powered up, then should do a full sweep and settle on 0.
Do they not sit at 0 when powered up ?
