    tach out

    Took my cluster out to paint the needles and change some bulbs, now when I put it back together the tach is out and stuck at zero however the mpg gauge still works, speedo gas and temp work as well, any idea? I'm gonna check the si batts, (should read 3v correct?)when I get home

    figured it out, apparently in the sweltering humidity around here the paint i just put on the needles was sticking to the little peg at the bottom of the tach, i flicked it while driving and it went to the correct revs....


    any permanent fix for this? i was gonna put a tiny bit of wd-40 on that peg and hope the paint no longer sticks, otherwise id have to keep the plastic cover off, if anyone has any suggestions im all ears.
