Thanks man, I didn't even think about the cable. I put a new cable in it a couple years ago, and the old speedo worked great, but the odometer roll stopped spinning and it chewed up some of the plastic gears the turn the odo. I pulled the odometer roll out so the speedo would still work.
On this new speedo, when I got it, I noticed that the end of the old speedo had broken off inside where the cable goes in. I though I got all the broken stuff out, but I'm not certain.
I think what I'm going to try is to put the odometer roll from the new speedo into the old speedo and see if that works
