: Pete,
:
: I have had the same problem with a
: screeching speedo which was caused by the
: bearing in the threaded part of the speedo
: body drying up.
:
: I found that if you take the speedo out of
: the instrument housing and stand the
: threaded part in some 3-in-one oil overnight
: the bearing inside will take up some oil as
: the bearings are porous. A guy who repairs
: speedos told me they are normally soaked at
: the factory, but after 30 years it's hardly
: surprising if the're a bit dry!
:
: You might do both speedo and tacho at the
: same time as you have to take the instrument
: housing to bits.
:
: Was a bit hit and miss before I found what
: the sound was and how to solve it!
