Re: [DML] Speedo stops working

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Stop and jack up the left front wheel.  Remove it and locate the white 
plastic drive cap.  It will either have fallen on the ground when the 
wheel came off or be still stuck in the hub.  Check the back to see if 
the hole that the angle drive flexible shaft fits into is still square. 
  If not, that's the problem.  If the flexible shaft, or a portion of 
it, came out with the cap, you'll need a new A/D and maybe a new cap. 
Next, disconnect the lower cable from the angle drive just behind the 
upright.  Turn the inner portion of the cable and have a confederate see 
if the speedo needle kicks.  If it does, the A/D is bad.  If not, the 
cable is bad. If you have condemned the angle drive, be sure to check 
the cable, too. If the cable will not turn, you must replace it also. It 
is extremely unlikely that anything else has broken.

We have them all.
