31K (LC2) speedo

[pete]

Hi all
It only works intermittenly Ive had it apart and cleaned it helped for a while and packed up again.
Got me puzzed as it's only a magnet and bit that spins not much to go wrong but it does.
Is there a way to fix it or do I have to get another one ?

Assuming that the cable is OK you can try a drop or two of light oil on the speedo mechanism - you can use carb cleaner but you have to be very careful as it can strip the paint from the clock surround.

dont forget to check the other end mate...sometimes when the front wheel is put back in the little lugs that locate the speedo drive dont always line up properly...the drive itself could also need looking at...
