tachometer question

I own a 2002 Damon Intruder 375 on a Ford Chasis

I'm puzzeled and hope someone can answer my question. The other day everything was fine, today I get in my rv to start it and notice my tachometer needle is way past 6 just stuck there without the rig running. I started the rig thinking it would jump back and nothing, no response. All other guages work, but I haven't checked the speedometer. I am baffled???? Anyone ever have this issue?????

Also I am in dire need of a owners manual for this rig, are there any good resources for this?

Thanks Todd

    haha the tap method was the first thing I tried. I just don't understand what would have made it climb from 0 to over 6 without the key in the ignition. I did have the battery on charge, maybe that did something?

    I would tap in the tach face plate with your finger. Sometimes meters stick. If it doesn't help may have to replace the meter, or the electronics that runs the meter. I'm assuming it isn't mechanically driven.
