3054 erratic tachometer

My tach seems to be malfuctioning. It's jumping around and is mostly pinned at the max. It was Ok all summer. Any Ideas?
Thank you

Check the connection where it goes into the tack housing in the front of the engine by the injector pump.
If it is tight and still doing it then take the end loose and spin the cable with your fingers and see if the tach on the dash moves.

I'll give it try and let you know how I make out.
Thank You Wallace

I finally checked it out.(after tach needle snapped off). Took cable off at engine location. Cable spins fine and needle moves(whats left of it). Put a couple drops of oil in engine part and put it back on. Seems to be working OK.
