Karl, do you think your issue with the accuracy had something to do with the "spring loading" of the needle? Yeah, most likely. I didn't think of unloading the spring way back then (nor now, but I won't admit to that).
Has anyone tested the accuracy by spinning the speedo on the work bench with a drill at say 60 rpm and have a value for that in MPH? Seems it would be difficult to maintain an even 60rpm, or any other rpm, without some sort of a readout. I can't afford a drill like that. K |
