[TR] [Spits] Frozen Tach

[Joe Curry]

Probably from sitting that has caused the shaft to freeze up.  You might
want to spray it with a silicon lubricant.  That will give it a bit of
lubrication without having anything that will harden with age.

Thanks Joe,

I will first practice on an old Tach I have before going for the new one.
Funny I now have two yes two NOS Tachs for the GT6+ that don't work.  In
addition to the frozen one I have another that reads real low and is not
very responsive.  They both have bright fluorescent red needles which was my
goal on all the gauges.  I should have left things alone since I had a
working Tach in there, just had the typical faded needle. 

I put a NOS OD Type Speedo in two today Too.  Fingers crossed there. I am
hopeful that it will give me a more accurate MPH reading.

No Cheers,

Darrell

BTW I took the GT out for an extended run today and she ran real cool.
Never even approached half on the old Smiths Temp gauge.  40 degrees and all
is good!  Triumph in Winter!
