The cable should spin freely, with no binding. If you can, unhook it from
the tach and see if it moves.
I had to remove both ends of my cable. It had rusted inside and was
stuck. I managed to get it to spin with some careful slicing of the
plastic housing and lots of pentrating oil drizzled in. The cable is
pretty shot so I will invest in a new one anyway.
