Hi All

My Odometer has stopped working.

I was going to take it to an instrument repair shop however that are quite busy so I may be without a speedo for some time.

Is it a big deal to fix?

Thanks in advance

Not a big deal to fix if you have the right parts or know what you are doing...I assume you still have a speed indication? (the Odometer just records miles/kilometres travelled)

If your speedo is not working, check to see if the cable drive is turning at the speedo "head"...

Hi

Speedo is fine just the odometer has stopped

Could be something simple like the speed nut holding the pawl on could have fallen off, the placky gears are worn out or it has jammed due to lack of lube on the pawl eccentric shaft...

Its very common for the odometer to wear out. They usually fail when they have to turn over a bunch of 9s. The pawl that pulls the gears round usually wears away. Depending on the age of the speedo the pawls are usually either brass or plastic, both of which are soft and eventually give up. Its probably possible to build up the brass ones and file them back into shape, but the plastic ones would be hard to do much with.

Could also be the pawl spring broken. I fixed my S speedo by robbing a spring from a Mini deluxe? one.
