Default Speedo

Hi Gents,
Some time ago, I bought a rebuilt KM speedo from someone on this forum. The instument worked fine untill I had to do an engine overhaul. The overhaul took about a year to complete and get my A running again.
The speedo still works fine but only up to 40 kph. I have checked speeds above 40 with a GPS, but the speedo stops at 40. Distance meter seems to work fine and so does the speedo, but the needle dies not go above 40 kph..
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

If you bought it from one of the rebuilders, tell him about it. I'm sure he will make it good. If not, contact one of the rebuilders mentioned at the top of this forum. He might be able to guide you through correction.

Perhaps the decal numbers are coming off and stopping the needle.
