thanks ken! you're right - that definitely explains the behaviour. the temp gauge and gas gauge both appearing low would indicate a lower voltage than normal i guess. i assume they have their own smoothing caps too considering they're so slow reacting which could be why they're not jumping like the rpm gauge is. if its something like a 78xx i probably have parts on hand to replace it! i'll check it out when i get home. my main concern was running out of gas so i guess i'll just go straight to the pump and fill 'er up to be sure. thanks again for the insight!
