Let me guess - the speedo drive box and cable from a carbureted S3 is different than the S2 and it won't work with an S2 speedometer. It's either that or I'm hopeless at seating the cable. I kind of hope that I'm hopeless at seating the cable! | ||

What doesn't fit, the gauge end? Is there a piece of the old cable stuck in the gauge? | ||

It fits in there but it doesn't appear to be seating into anything. When you spin the wheel the cable rotates but when you go out for a ride the speedo isn't spinning. | ||

Do you know it's a good cable? If you spin the wheel end (uninstalled), does the gauge end spin? Could be a bad drive, could be a bad cable... | ||

Mark Twain was right: God must love stupid people because he sure made a lot of them. The drive tang slipped when I was bolting up the wheel and I didn't notice it. Much wasted time later, the tang is back into shape and where it belongs and problem solved. Time to give the old girl a good cleaning and when my "new" air filter arrives I'll snap some pics and do a write up. It's been a project! Thank you all for your help, it's really appreciated. |
