I may have posted this before, but it was a long time ago.  I'm trying to find information on how the tachometer works on the Wilesco D32el.  I know that it works off the governor and as the gov spins faster, it somehow moves a linkage that makes the tach needle move.  I really don't want to tear this apart without some foreknowledge, so if anything anybody has any info to pass on is greatly appreciated.

"Remember" is the key to this.

My memory.......card, isn't that big.    Frankly, I simply don't have the time right now.  I always figured that when I hit 50 things would slow down a bit.  Yeah, right...  I'm working more hours, more consistently, than I have in my life!  Sux...

Life begins at 40 and for some of us just about ends at 50, Life sure hasnt gotten simpler that is for sure. I was forced into an early retirement due to health issues, but I cant say that it is a bit easier, just more of a struggle.

Boy.. do I understand that!!  After my industry was exported to India, (thanks Bush Jr.)I now work on the receiving dock, unloading trucks, and unpacking boxes.  I will be lucky if I make it to 50 before I become totally disabled.  Depressing really.
BUT..... the upside is, I am having a BLAST with my steam toys.
