Possible to rebuild a 240 odometer? 200 1983

There is tiny plastic gear that turns the "tenths" of the odometer and rolls it to the "miles". It typically cracks from the inside to outside diameter and works intermitently for a while, (as is yours), wears, then fails completely, usually at the "9". Replacing the gear will solve your problem. You can get one from IPD for $49.95. (That's right - Capitalism at it's best!!)It's in the form of a "speedo repair kit", that includes directions and instructional DVD, to make you feel like you're getting something more than a tiny plastic gear for $50.00!
To solve my problem, I secured a working instrument cluster from a junk yard for MUCH less. Removed the speedometer/odometer, reset it to the current mileage of my 245 and popped it into my current cluster. I keep the left-overs (gas guage, temp guage, clock, etc) for future repairs. No special tools required.
