Speedo not registering

Post by bighole »

The speedometer on the gray buffalo quit on me the other day. Funny thing is the odometer and trip meter both still work...

Any ideas?

Maybe the little wound spring connected to the needle shaft has broken?

If the spring was broken the needle would go right around and stay at the other end just under the 0.
