Hi, Bill. Mo-Ma, who does gauge rebuilding, carefully and clearly warns that you want to snip the cable off to 1/4 inch before inserting into either the tach or speedometer. Reason is, the extra length does disaster inside. Because these cables are made of individual strands of wire, I used a bench grinder to shorten.
If you do have something stuck inside, you might try a magnet.
Have fun!
