[Healeys] Speedo

[R. Price Lindsay]

First I would like thank all those listers that have helped me out  
over the last month or so-it's really appreciated!  I hate to be a  
pain in the rear but I have, I hope, one final question.

I put my second angle drive with washer and a new cable on my BJ 8  
this morning and took it for a drive. The readings were smooth without  
any jump in the needle at slow or fast speeds. My only question/issue  
is the speedo does not read anything until about 20 mph. At that point  
it works like a charm. When I slow down below 20 mph it reads  
perfectly. Once I stop and start again it doesn't read until 20 mph  
and then it's fine.

My question has two parts 1) has anyone had a similar experience or  
have any ideas on why this would be happening and what a fix would be  
and 2) before I take off for a long drive am I running a risk of  
breaking another angle drive??

Thank you again for your valuable insight.
