Is it normal for there to be some amount of bounce in a Jaeger speedometer needle that coincides with the ratcheting of the two brass odometer gears? During repair I did a benchtop confirmation with the odometers NOT installed, using a DC motor and controller set to the calibration value...
Does anyone know how to remove the works from the speedometer housing? I tried to follow Anthony Rhodes instructions from his repair manual, but the reset (which is functional) bottoms out before making it into the case. I am probably short about 1/8" to 3/16". I've tried finessing the...
I'm taking the wraps off my TR3A for spring tune up and lo and behold, the speedometer is at 17mph. I jacked up a rear wheel and went through the gears, shut off engine, and falls back to 17 mph again. How do I get it to fall to zero. Any advice? Thanks. Le T
