Tacho problem

Post by ph3var »

Well i put my new dials in from funky and had the simalar problem to most people with the sticky tacho.
So I searched about and did what most people suggested by pulling the needle out and putting it back in.
It got slightly better but on my last go at it, it all went bad.
My needle now sits where i put it but goes backwards when I rev the car.
Anyone know anything about this.
Have I busted it or is there a simple fix?

Any help is good help :P

I've recently bu99ered up my temp guage by being too rough with it while painting my needles. No matter what do to it now, it just dosn't work.... :?

Have ordered the temp guage off a wrecked FTO, and am gunna swap it over when i get the time!

Couldn't see any other way - they're VERY dilicate little jobbies. Once you get them near-enough right, don't be tempted to try and get them PERFECT!
If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bull...
