    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.

Tachometer problem....?

I want to lube my tach cable. Is it as simple as unscrewing the back of the tach cluster and unscrewing the tach cable (like the clutch cable), then squirting lube on the cable? Any calibrations I should be aware of? Thanks.

The mechanical tach involves lubing the cable and the mechanism in order to get it to work better, also check the cable to see if it is fraying.
 
How do I access the cable? Any concern about not getting it back together correctly and getting an innaccurate reading?
 
Remove both ends of the cable, from the back of the guage and the engine, the cable will then slide out of the sheath, shoot a lot of Brakecleen through the sheath until it stops coming out black, spray the cable with BC too until it is nice and shiny, check the cable to see if it is frayed. I then use moly to work into the cable first and put some stp into the sheath, and insert the cable, work it in and out a few times, put more stp work it in and out a few times and screw it back into the engine so it doesn't drain out. To lube the guage is beyond me as I don't have that model and don't know how to open those guages, sorry:oops:
