Should I be worried?

This tach shows 600 RPM and I didn't open it yet.
It is for a 1973 65 HP Evinrude.

It says x 100 on the tach which means it will read to 6000 rpm.

It is currently reading 600 RPM's. See the needle?
It is way above zero.

When you put power to it it will drop to zero until you start the engine.

Bottom line....Don't be worried, that's a normal function.

Thanks all, welcome back Joe.
If it ever stops raining, it may get installed.
