Odometer motor 200 1989

Anthony,

Thanks for the advice.

The way that I tested out my speedo was by using Art's information located here:

http://cleanflametrap.com/speedo.html

Unless you have access to the equipment that Art is using you won't be able to diagnose the device down to the level that I did, but you would be able to take the odometer/speedometer motor board off of the side of the speedometer and see the little brown winding gear spin.

If the brown winding gear is spinning then it is either one or both of your plastic wheels that will need to be replaced to get it back up and running.

I ordered the large gear yesterday and it should be here by this weekend. I also went through what parts I had at home and was able to find a large gear that was not broken. The other one I had was and is not resting comfortably in the trash can.

So a question I have for you is how do you know the mileage of your car if you keep on swapping out speedometers??? Just curious that's all or do you not care??

Any ways, thanks again for the advice and have a great day.

Regards,

Matt
