    I don’t know if this string is still alive or not, but thought I would give it a try as I also have a speedo problem.  Pulled the wheel, removed cable from speedo and tested it and cable seems good.  I think the trouble is in speedo.  I have a “VDO” model speedometer.  removed the speedo from the dash, and removed the two nuts and the wash…[Read more]
