I have an non-functioning odometer and figured one of the gears inside was broken. Following the Pelican DIY article I carefully opened it up expecting to find something broken. I don't see anything out of the ordinary but I've never been inside before.
With the trip reset cable inserted in the speedo port I spun it up with a drill. The speedo works just fine but the mile don't increment on the odometer. The trip reset works when turned except I can never get it to 0000. The "ones" column never turns to 0. Anybody see anthing out of the ordinary or is this just a lost cause? Kev    |

Hey Kevin - I saw your post earlier this evening and got caught up with other things. I had to search for it, but found a post on NARP from back in 2007. Looks like you don't need it now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Curiosity got the best of me, Took a Silver Dot speedo apart ... I ended up scribing some splines in the shaft then pressed the wheel back onto the shaft ... |
