[urq] URQ Speedo

[dgraber460 at aol.com]

 I have been having an issue with my speedometer (I have 2 and they both do it), in that it will keep clicking off miles on the odometer (so I know the cable is intact and spinning) but the needle wont register speed. Stays on the peg, and then out of the blue will spring to life and work for the rest of the trip. When it started, I took it to Denver Speedometer, a place I had used in the past, and the guy just sort of blew me off and summarily said "$300 to rebuild it", and then asked to see it. He took a small screwdriver, stuck it in the back and turned it. The needle bounced and he handed back to me said "its fine, there's nothing wrong with it". He said the needle is run by a magnetic pick up, and not a possible electrical impulse or any other "usual" suspect. The problem seems worse when its hot.
Any ideas or solutions?
