Just had the tumblers rebuilt. Went to pick it up there battery was dead. Jump started it it and it ran, but none of the gauges worked. When you give it gas its idle or full throttle, nothing in between. None of the gauges In the dash are working. Any ideas?

Hi,

When you say tumbler, are you referring to the ignition lock cylinder? Do any of the other electrical components work?

It sounds like the key is not fully in the run position when you release it from start. Gently wiggle the key to see if the gauges start working. Do your best not to re-engage the starter.

Let me know. Also, let me know exactly what was done.
