[Healeys] Healey bj8 speedo reading not accurate

[Alan Seigrist]

Frederich -

This seems to suggest the cup bearing in the instrument is starting to
lose lubrication, causing the needle to read fast when cold then as it
warms up, gets a little loosened lubrication then starts reading slow.

I might suggest you have a run at the speedo with the speedo rebuild
procedures which is on John Sim's healey website, the sheet tells you
how to lubricate the bearing.

If that doesn't help you may consider getting your speedo rebuilt.
