        I put a new sending unit in.  The tach will only register 1600rpms wide open.  Before the old sending unit quit it would register 2500rpms wide open.  It shows 400rpms at idle. Tractor is Jinma 200LE.  I have tried screwing it in until it touches the flywheel but it doesn't change anything.  Any ideas?

          well I do not know what engine you have but about 2500 is what they are governed to run at max. These engines run well at 1800 to 2000.

            Screw it in until it touches the flywheel and then back it out 3/4 turn and lock it. If you didn't do that I'm surprised you got any reading at all.

            Why did you replace it if the old one was working?

              The old one quit working.  That's the way I put it in ,touched the flywheel then backed it off.

                Are you certain the new unit is the correct type?

                Have you double checked the wiring connections?

                I apologize. I misunderstood your post I guess.
