Today, I took apart my tachometer and was able to flush all the old =
grease (well most of it I think) from the bearing where the cable =
connects. I held it "face up" so I wouldn't get crap in or on the cup or =
the magnet and used carburetor cleaner and compressed air until clear =
fluid came out. It turned pretty smootly after that. I put a few drops =
of silicone spray on a screwdriver and worked it into the bushing just =
to get some lubricant in there. I thought about using white lithium =
grease but figured it might be too thick.=20
After re-installing the tach, there is no more noise and in fact it =
seems much smoother now.
I received my front brake shims yesterday so I am going to install those =
this weekend along with a set of the vinyl covered door top pieces. That =
should be interesting.. It's suppose to rain here all day tomorrow so I =
should have plenty of time.
