What's the deal here??  Later in the night the stop >point shifted to 4200 RPM.
=====================
most likely, the end of the tach needle is sticking against the tach face.
*they all do this!*  :>)

dissassemble, carefully heat the end of the needle (i put an envelope between
the face & the needle), bend back, reassemble & install.  try not to pull off
the needle, it's difficult to get it back in the rite position...

good luck,
