if you are running a aftermarket ignition like mallory or msd it happens to. you might need a tach adapter. my ignition burned the shift lite out of mine cause i didnt have the adapter

and if it has no rev limiter?
not to be dumb and ask, but is it calibrated for the engine your running? [the little wires on the back]

The tach probably has an issue with the needle touching something inside causing it to drag until it gets past the sticky point.

Does this tach have "Dave Gray" engraved all over it?  If it does I would sure like to meet the guy you bought it from.
