deluxe speedo sticky?
Is there an adjustment or lubing option on the 40 deluxe Speedo?
It's the only part of the dash I don't have fully working. If I connect it it sort of works but whines and jumps around. if I disconnect it the cable from the trans seems to turn steadily and smoothly. I'd like to get it back working Last edited by DMMuir; 05-21-2024 at 02:28 PM. Reason: wording |

It’s probably also due for a cleaning.

I also found that if you support the speedo cable so it goes straight into the speedometer, without a sharp bend, it helps reduces the stress on the cable.
I used a piece of electrical wire and a wire tie. Speedo (not seen) is on the left. |

See the brass plug that is removed from the hole just above the cable hookup tube. There is a felt in there that needs a little oil. Take a sharp thin knife blade to get under the brass plug to remove it.
