Did you diode isolate the tach so it is only reading off one armature. MUST be diode isolated or it will be irratic and possibly even twice the rpm you are actually turning.

any electronic supply store, radio shack tell you need a 1 or 2 amp diode voltage don't really matter, you are simply using it as an isolater.
