    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.

After a long winter, I've completely cleaned the carbs, (disassembled and soaked) adjusted valve clearances, and put on the old stock exhaust to begin tuning the carbs which I have questions about but I'll post in the correct forum... my question is with the tach... it is currently extremely slow to respond, any tips on how to get the needle moving more freely?

Might try lubing the cable good. If that doesn't help try taking tach apart and cleaning and lubing tach. There are several threads on here how to take them apart, just use the search function. terrylee
 
Give it time, they do free up over time with use and vibration.
Make sure the cable isn't threaded on too tight or bent in any direction.
 
I lubed the cable, took the tach apart by prying the glass off as shown in a post on here and lubed it up. It moves much more freely now, not as fast as my car, but definitely an acceptable speed. Thanks for the help.
