Gauge Jumping??

Hey,

I recently installed my reverse indiglo's and noticed today that when i am accelerating (from a stop) around 5-10 mph it looks like my gauge kinda jumps almost. Is that okay, normal or whats going on?

not sure what to do and any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Your needle might be sticking a little, check the needle's clearance around the face of the guage, check and see if it rubs in certain places more than others.

SatansEnemy is an unknown quantity at this point
also check and see if the little rings under and around your neddles are seated properly, all these really do is help keep the light where it should be. just seat them back down, if that is the problem.

It is more than likely that is it sticking to the guages like clown price said. If the needle looks like it is the right spot for idle and you didn't take them off then it is sticking to the guages.

Yeah it is in the right spot for idle...Ill try to fix it soon. Can any harm be done with leaving them like that for a couple days? Is it going to throw my speedo off?

no it won't throw anything off for a little while. My tach still jumps because the guages are weird. I fixed my speedo and my fuel. u might have to put more double stick tape around the area it is sticking to.

Go figure.

I did double stick tape the gauges down from the beginning. I have also noticed that it does it 95% of the time, but not always.

Thanks.
