My speedo had the ol' weeble-wobbles, so I went to the trouble of pulling out the rusted-in dash pod to check out the cable connection at the back. After painting the dash pod spike and lubing it with some bicycle gear grease (good all-purpose stuff), I can now take out the dash pod easily. I opened the speedo and dusted some graphite inside and put everything back together, wiping off the grime with a damp cloth. Now my tachometer doesn't work. At first it was reading too high, by about 500 rpm. Then when the weather cleared up and I took her out for a spin, the tach gave up completely as I wound out second gear. There's power coming in on the hot lead, and the electricity is making it through the tach and to the ignition, since I have no trouble with the engine. The ground connection seems to be good, too. All of the other gauges work, and I've reduced the weeble-wobble in the speedo (still there, but smaller), but I'd like to know if there's any chance I can fix this myself. If not, who is a good fixer of these things? How much can I expect it to cost? Thanks, Edward Davis
