Speedo stops at 35 mph
Hi Guys,
The speedo in my 68 BB only goes to about 35/40 MPH and will not go higher. It seems to read the right speed untill then, and works smoothly up to 35 MPH. I removed the inst. pannel, and it turns freely. I can get it to about 10MPH spinning it by hand, but when i hook it up to a power drill it stops at 35 MPH just like when it was in the car.(I should note the speedo is out of the car and I was using an old peice of cable in the drill so binding cable was not the problem) thanks for any suggestions you may have.
