Grease for tach/speedo cables?
Anybody have a go to grease to help with bouncing tach or speedometer needles?
I recently picked up one of these:

I'm thinking general purpose type grease is too viscous, and white lithium grease is the way to go. Can't seem to find any tubes of white lithium to put in a grease gun for the fitting adapter I bought.

Squirting grease into the cable casing is NOT the way to go. You can remove the cable from the casing [difficult] and put a light wipe of lithium grease on it...OR...many suggest using a dry lubricant like graphite on it. If you put a significant amount of grease in the casing, the cable will bind up as the grease dries out and gets sticky.
