As the topic says; and it concerns my '81.
This swaying of the needle is irritating; I have read that the reason should
be that the silicon fluid has evaporated, and hence there is no dampening on the
needle movement. The swaying is caused by the sloshing of the gas in the
tank.
For another reason I have the cluster apart now, and attach a few pictures;
there is a small hole on the back, at the top location; should I fill some fluid
there?
And what type? I just have a spray can with silicon oil would that suffice;
any experience out there?
In the RC model cars, silicon oil is used in the shock absorber, and comes in a number of viscosities; I would guess that a relatively light weight would do the job? Anyone has done this?
Thanks for your imput,
