That sounds right,altho it ends up near 3000 rpm.  Adjust?  What's to
adjust?  It seems to work normally, makes a little click, but evidently
the circut stays open (or is it closed?)  Anyway, just yanked one of the
wires on back and it runs fine.  I don't have a Bently, hence all the
questions,ie,  WHAT IS IT?  And do I need it?  What for?
