Speedo problems

Recommended Posts

Ok here is a summary of what has been done to cause this situation.

 

1) I installed a Thor TRL + DSC to replace the km-miles convertor she had on her already.

2) Installed Miami GT 180mph EL glo dials.

 

The dials were 300kmph before and read correctly in mph. I changed to the 180mph dial to see my speed easier.

 

I had to take the needle off to fit the dial and when I refitted she read low. I then got my GF to fit the needle back on while I was doing 80 on my private runway. She put it on a tiny bit lowerer than 80 but a good enough effort. Most speeds read alot lower and when I am stopped I see my dial like this.

 

What is going on???

reposition your dial to 0 and try again sometimes the dial springs get damaged then it reads higher. do this with engine off then see if it moves when standing still when on. it should move slightly unless the spring has been wound on. then reposition
