Been having problems this season and have changed rpm switch and other things well it bit me again this weekend. Worked great first 6 passes. So I'm down to changing the cable. Been in car for 8-10 years.

Then I put a heat resistant sheath on it.... been a number of years now with no issues. It’s heat that kills ‘em. If you got 8-10 years, however; I wouldn’t call that a problem, I’d call that maintenance. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
