[Healeys] Speedo cable

[Bob Spidell]

If the pulsing is rhythmic; say, it pops from 60 to 80 every couple 
seconds then settles back it could be a radial fracture in one of the 
gears that drives the odometer or speedometer. Cable and adapter 
problems typically cause the needle to bounce all over the place.

I use silicone oil for cable and internals--and bicycle gears--as it 
attracts less dust.
