Yammer Dan Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I've been putting off lubing "Uglys" tach. It has bad case of slows but I've got to get in there anyway and thought I would lube Tach While I was doing other things. What is best thing to lube it with??
Snaggletooth Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I know that a bit of chain oil DON'T work when it's cold out. I cleaned it up and soaked a Q-tip with silicon spray and it seemed to be doing the trick into below zero temps. Will see how it holds up this summer.
friesman Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I used 3 in one sewing machine oil on my speedometer last fall, it seemed fine, cold or warm Brian:smile5:
dingy Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 In addition to previous comments, you want a low weight oil. 10W or 5W Probably some fork oil setting around somewhere in the garage. Gary
RandyR Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Gun oil is dangerous. Please explain. Gun oil is not the same a barrel fouling cleaner which disolves copper and loosens lead, and is hydroxide based (I believe).
Yammer Dan Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 I think the Gun oil would give me a secure feeling.....
zooer Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I think the Gun oil would give me a secure feeling..... Well I was gonna suggest KY gel but I think I have the wrong application.
flb_78 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 WHOA!! Just where is this cable going and what "revs" are going to be checked?
Rocket Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 WHOA!! Just where is this cable going and what "revs" are going to be checked? What cable, it is an electronically operated needle (like a coolant guage), for his tach.......
