Default Re: Speedo problems

If the speedo has lots of miles without proper lube (probably most of them!) another culprit can be the bushing inside that the inner part spins on. There is not much clearance between that part and the can that has the needle so if it contacts the outer part the needle pegs. I think there are or there is a magnet that is spinning that pulls the outer part up as the rpm of the unit increases. IF this is the case, you probably should contact a rebuilder.
