    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

weird problem with the tach guys, it works at idle and up to 5k then it hangs there even though i'm accelerating past that mark and the jumps to way past the rev limiter when i reach about 8k. there was some cut wires thanks to mice but i repaired them all, and all the other functions in the housing work fine.

did i miss something? figured there was something fancy in the housing that i didn't add
 
Hi,

Check and lube the cable. Take the gauges off and spray your favorite lube inside the cable inputs. I use a contact cleaner with silicone. WD40 will work too. If that doesn't stabilize the needle then you may have to disassemble the gauge and clean it manually.

Remove the gauge from the housing. Use a small screwdriver and good needle nose pliers to pry off the front bezel. Clean. Reassemble. Then use a punch, or similar, to bend the bezel back onto the housing.

That bell housing/magnet assembly with the watch spring gets gummed up and can cause intermittent operation.

Thank you for your indulgence,
