Hi all,
My garage has just replaced the angle drive and cable on my BT7 after the last one tore itself apart (old angle drive didn't have the spacing washer!). However, when connect up the speedo does not turn. The garage said the speedo must be broken and need replacing.
However, when I got home I cut off the end of the old cable and put it in a drill and used this to turn the speedo without a problem, so the speedo is not broken.
The problem must be how the cable if fitting into the back of the speedo. Is there any particular way e.g. should it be screwed in as tight as possible or left slack?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Phil
