I'm having a problem and need help. Please contact me off list. George in Auburn CA "1. Remove the speedo from the case, remove the pointer on the face and remove the face Gently is the trick here - don't force anything and you will be fine. 2. CLean out all the lube in the beast - Q-tip and cotton swab w/a good solvent works fine. So does spraying with electronic flux remover or the like - I've done it both ways. 3. Make sure the magnet cup and magnet are clear of all debris - when you spin the speedo by hand the cup should move slightly. Also, if you touch the cup it should rock back and fortrh from the rest position. If it doesn't find out why - this could be the problem. 4. Lubricant should be nothing but a light instrument oil - and damn little of that. I use 3-in-1 or sewing machine oil or things like that - if you can get clock oil that is ideal. 5. Reassemble and test. To reset the pointer position put on the face, then note the spot just below the ) mark where there are two dots close together right out at the tip of the pointer. Push the pointer back on so that it sits at that point at rest, then pull back thezero stop, push the pointer gently past it, and allow the zero stop to retract back into place. This sets the spring preload... If the odometer works and the magnet spins then all that is likely wrong is that something has stuck the pointer cup and drive in place. Should be a matter of clean and test..."
