joel 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) I just adjsuted the tappets on my car. It is muck quiter and idles better, but the revcounter and the temperature gauge needle flickers. Also the fuel use indicator below the revcounter does not work, and the inspection light came on. This only just started happening after i adjusted the tappets.

ducatiss 1 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 The tappet adjustment itself will have absolutely nothing to do with the problems you describe. However given the timing of the problem straight after the adjustment took place I would suggest you look to see that you have not crushed a wire under the tappet cover causing it to short. Also check that all electrical connections in the area that you worked are still tight and in good nick. I dont think there is a lot other than the temp and cold start wires that are in the area but take a look see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
