Default Tach floating

Yesterday I was starting my motor in the driveway like I do before I head out to make sure all is good and I started it up and the although the engine was idling, for about 15 seconds the tach was floating from 3500 to 5000.. Engine was at a dead idle....like a switch the tach dropped straight down to 800 and was dead solid from there on out....

Should I do some preemptive repairs replacement or just let it ride and see if it happens again? Sign of a bad tachometer or something on the motor side?

1986 Yamaha with original Yamaha tach I am assuming.
