jinma 224--clock went nuts

Hi all,

Just thinking of someting, an alternator with a bad diode could sent a pulsating 12v. that the hourmeter count like an another pulse of the reluctor off the flywheel. To check if the problem is in the charging system i will try disconecting all the alternator wiring and with a full charged batterie start the engine to see if the problem is solve. But doing this test didn't tell you if it is the alternator or the regulator like Tommy's good advice.

Lifts up and down and drops on its own? it slams down, leaver is stiff after it drops? Any help would be apprciative!

It would help a lot if I knew what you are talking about. Tachometer needle maybe?
What's a "leaver"? Do you mean lever?
Perhaps you could start a new thread with more details.
