The rev limiter is independant of the tach, so there's no problem there.
As for DIY tach calibration, it isn't a big deal, if you can solder a few resistors. But, I must say an error of over 300%...
is quite a bit! Usually the error is much lower. Mine was off 20+%, and I've heard of a couple a bit more (e.g, near 30%).
Usually the error increases over time; a function of deterioration of a printed resistor circuit. But, in your case, I wonder if the ground on the voltage divider isn't lifted (or the like).
I can dig up the calibration procedure, if you want to try it yourself. Who knows...the calibration process might just fix a lifted ground problem too.
