Yammer Dan Posted March 13, 2011 #1 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 #2 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 #4 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 #5 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 #8 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 #10 Posted March 14, 2011 I think the Gun oil would give me a secure feeling.....
zooer Posted March 14, 2011 #11 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 #12 Posted March 14, 2011 WHOA!! Just where is this cable going and what "revs" are going to be checked?
Rocket Posted March 14, 2011 #13 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.......
