If it's Faria it has a limited lifetime warranty. Or you could replace it.

Try Great Lakes skipper. They have a lot of OEM gauges.

It may be a long shot but this fixed my tach. Mine was jumpy and sticking this got it working again;

- change the cylinder selector on the backside back and forth several times.
- make sure all connections on the back are sound, tight and not corroded (maxum is notorious for using cheap slide-on connectors on the backside).
- get a strong magnet and hold it along the front outer bezel. Slide it from zero to max back and forth a few times. If the needle follows the magnet, it can help fix a sticky gauge. If the needle doesn’t move at all, the gauge is probably shot.

IF you're that stuck, it's just a gauge. Any guage that fits the rough hole and engine cyclinders will work. Just make sure the gauge is in the RPM range of the engine.

I'm facing the same problem. SCR 3300. The dash has a 4" hole and the current guage mounts from underneath. Faria no longer makes them or repairs them. They have either a 4" guage that mounts through the front of the dash through a 3 3/8" hole or a 5" guage that drops into a 4 1/4" hole. Not wanting to open the hole in the dash I'm going to try the 4" guage. I found a company online that sells custom plastic rings so I'll use that to make it work.

A post above mentioned a method to fix a sticky guage. I may give that a shot first. One guage sporadically jumps to high rpms and a couple taps on the guage brings it back. Not a show stopper but annoying.

My gauge is that exact one and the hour meter stopped working. The rpm still works though. Do you know who still sells them?
