Rikk,
On an M35A2, every time (no exceptions) the engine speed reaches 12,000 the
engine has already been blown apart and looks like shrapnel (to be precise,
the engine speed will NEVER reach 12,000 RPM, but the tach doesn't go that
high either). The governed speed for this engine is between 2600 and 2900
depending on who set up the governor.
I would have to go out and check this for you, but I would expect the rpm's
to be around 2200 or so at 30 MPH in fourth gear.

Subject: [MV] A quick M35A2 question.
Good morning listers!
On a LDT 465 1 D, in 4th gear, at 30 MPH, should the tach read 12,000?
My tach was not working, it did a few hops but otherwise nothing.
At 800 miles of use it started reading around 5 k when the motor was
running.
At around 1100 miles, it just seemed to start working, I'm just wondering if
it is close to right.
And also, any suggestions on what fixed it?
