[Healeys] Speedo cable

[JSARCH]

It could be that the cable has a kink. Just use motor oil to lube it.

 

Palo Alto Speedo rebuilt my speedo and calibrated it so it reads accurately with my 180 HR 15 XAS tires.

If it's not the cable, gearbox on trans, or lube, then the unit needs to be repaired by one of the gauge people- Nosigener , Palo Alto Speedo, etc. There is wear in the speedometer that causes the cable to bounce. I sent mine and had it done for about $175 and it still bounces a little at low speed, but is less than before. Hank

Gents,

     on a recent road trip, I noticed the speedo needle vacillating between 60 and 80 mph. I assume the problem is that the cable needs lubricating. What is best for this purpose? Thanks for any advice.
