FAQ2

What can I do if my speedometer works fine but the odometer has stopped?

Yes, we have heard this before. I would guess that 80% or more of the speedometer issues involve this same scenario. Most often this occurs on 1963 and later speedometers that contain a trip odometer. Basically, the same parts that are used in this unit, are used in a speedometer with a total odometer only. The extra strain of the trip odometer can contribute to wear on the worm gears that drive the odometers. A quick fix would be the replacement of the second worm gear. It's just that…a quick fix. This will only provide a temporary resolution because wear also occurs on the first worm or magnet which drives the second worm. The correct fix requires rebuilding and/or replacement of the entire frame assembly. This requires special tools and equipment and cannot be performed without the proper tools and calibrating equipment. We have the necessary equipment to perform this job properly.
