its not a flase reading its true and if you sa it running you would know it wasent false |
Lewis, you can't make it jump from 2200 to 3200 rpm... Ive had readings like that Lewis! Around 3400 etc you need to let the meter settle a bit. Unless you have a video of it running at 3200 for a while not a quick jump up and down

Ok lewis pop the video up later and we'll see, was the 3000 rmp constant speed or did it flash on? Don't round the readings up Lewis, thats not an accurate reading then

If it gradually slows down in speed after being at 3000 its a proper reading! Hope it was LEwis
