I messed up speedo Calibration
Oops,
I took out speedo in 4kq to fix the Odometer and decided to take
the face off to have a look inside. Now speedo calibration is off. I
figure I did one of two things. BTW: speedo alwasy seems to be 10mph
optimstic.
1) I put the needle back on wrong. It it supposed to be
pre0-tensioned against the stop?
2) I did accidently hit the black wheel that is on the side of
speedo unit. Has a spring wrapped around it and a couple of arms that
grapb the teeth. I dont know what this does. Is the calibration thing?
I hit it and it spun, I tried to put it back where it was but didn't know
whre it went really. WHat is this thing?
Thanks, I'd like my speedo to say 70 when I go 70, not 80 at 70. L8R
