About 4 days ago my wife reset the odometer back to 0 by pushing the button with the switch on but the motor off. Both the speedometer and the tach both turned clockwise until they hit the peg by zero but they were on the back side so that when we started the motor neither one would work as they were against the peg. I took it to a former Chrysler mechanic ( They got closed out in 2009) and he hooked up his computer thinking that we could reset everything back to zero. It just didn't happen to work like we hoped. About 5 years ago my mother had the same thing happen to her gas gauge on her 1997 park avenue. At the time I heated up a small nail until it was hot enough to melt a small hole through the plastic cover. I used a very small wire and through this little hole I was able to spin the gas gauge back around until it was in the correct location. In the last 5 years , we have had to do it 3 or 4 more times. It works fine then. Last week I melted 2 holes through the face of my 2001 chrysler and did the same thing. For the last 3 days it has been working fine. I melt the holes right in the middle where the needle pivots, it doesn't show very much. I told my wife the next time she resets the odometer to have the motor running, if that does happen to make a difference. Have any of you had this problem before? I could have done the same thing by taking the face off but I didn't know how much trouble that was going to be.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
