Speedometer cable breaking Mystery
Written by eegah_yai on 1/22/2012 at 03:27 am


My speedometer cable breakage was caused by a mis-routing after I removed the
cowling. When re-installing it, I pinched the cable inside plastic thinking it
was right but it kinked the cable enough to break the speedometer fairly
quickly. I should have looked at the diagram instead of trusting my memory.

again about 2" from speedometer head. Which leads me to beleive something is
locking up or broken gear in the head. Attached a drill on it to view the
workings of what turns internally. From what I can tell no broken gears and
everything seems to operate smoothly.
