Jumping speedo 140-160 1974

posted by  someone claiming to be Kåre on  Wed May 3 17:22 CST 2006 [RELATED]

My speedo says 1.03 and I also just checked the rear axle and it says (if I read it correctly) ratio 4,10. My odometer doesn't work either, so maybe the speedo is due for an overhaul.
The reason I thought it was the speedo cable is that I once had this identical problem on a 71 142 and the new cable fixed the problem then (25 years ago).
I'll take out the speedo and see if I can find something obvious. Does anyone know where I can get a new gear for the odometer? I thought I read somewhere that somebody makes these gears, at least for the 240?
