itchy backside.

 

sorry i can't help.

[Koren]

lol.. i saw a reply and tot help was here..

 

 

anione else? perhaps those who took out their needles to install EL meters?

[Smiley]

sorry lah. if you ask me about clocks, i may still be able to help.

by the way, did you check the wiring? maybe one wire loose so cannot move.

[Zeruel]

wah now you can speed 'legally'

i think the pin connected to the needle is loose liao

dunno if this helps but mayb you push it harder in?

[Koren]

no wires leh.. all solder.. hmm..

[Koren]

thanks i'll try

[Smiley]

check all connections, believe something might be loose. if cannot, then go "hospital" liao.

[Gadgeter]

oh... you took out the needles?

 

any status now?

[Hycool]

the needle are sensitive, i tink there is a method to follow to turn them back in, but i hav not done it before

 

Quote i pull out for jazz speedo meter:

turn the needle anti-clockwise and let it fall back till it comes to a complete stop. Using a marking tape, place it onto a point of your face plate to mark out the final position of the instrument needle. This is important because you will have to install the needle back onto the position that you have marked out. You have to do this to all your needles.

Speedometer are generally controlled by "inpulse regulators" fed by the wheels and the spring load moving it back to 0 Kmh, removing it actually does risk damaging it. If you have a friend driving the same made, try swapping it to check.

Chaik lak !

Ever took out needles B4. After put back all out of "tune".

1st must know where it used to point at after warm up IE : angle of RPM, fuel last level, temp ind. Then put the needle when eng start to locate.

Mine was working OK after "tune" back still 3K rpm at 132kp.

 

Try & see OK.

Put a bit of Kung Fu, sure can put back la. Unless broke it -- still can super glue back !

 

Wan to strip must know how to go back original.

We all strip and wear ourself everyday right ? Ever go wrong ??

my rev meter now back to normal.. problem is i pushed it in too hard..

 

but my speed meter seems to have a little problem.. it doesnt work on cold start.. onli after travelling a while den it'll go back to normal..

[Koren]

dun tink so.. my speedo is powered by electric data i guess.. there's no spring or wadsoeva..

[Gadgeter]

if like you mention... you took out the speedomater to spray the interior, guess you can't claim warranty on that anymore.

The so called spring/coil is electrical, receiving impulses hence turning to the meter. The meter has not changed much since the 60s.
