inspect the cable housing first. make sure that it's not twisted or burnt by the exhaust, if looks ok pull the cable out of the housing and lube it up with a good lubricant. i use a mixture of a penray product called inner slide lube and lubriplate. after sitting that long you'll want to clean the cable off before lubing, penetrating oil and a rag will work well for this. reinstall the cable into the housing and remove the excess from the end that attaches to the head. the lube can work it's way into the speedo face and stain the lettering. if you decide to install a new cable asm you'll need to lube it first also. mike
