Re: odometer bj7
I turned my odometer back when I restored my BT7 30 years ago. My speedo/odometer is mechanical and resetting was a simple procedure. Open the unit, remove the needle and face plate, roll the odometer wheels back to zero. Reassemble. Getting the needle back on in the proper spot can take a few tries. I needs to rest against the pin when not moving. I had to place it on the speedo in the minus 3 mph position in order to get it to rest against the pin. Put the needle on the speedo in the minus position (about 1/8" behind the pin) and then GENTLY bend the needle up over the resting pin and rotate it to the working side of the pin. It should then rest against the pin with a slight pressure. It usually takes me a few tries to get it right.
Remember, the placement of the needle on the speedo shaft will effect how the unit reads. Place it to far on the minus side and it will read slow, not far enough and it will read fast. At least that's what I found.
