Awful fast for Zero mph.. Speedometer Lag
Hi Folk,
Went to leave the gas station this AM and noticed a friendly police officer traveling the other way. I looked down and low and behold I was doing "0".. Which was a bit of suprise considering the exerted gforces. Out of pure disbelief I tapped the gauge and it sprung to the proper speed. At each stoplight same thing ..hummm Before I go pulling things out any suggestions? 1983 911 Targa stock. |

Loose connector either behind the speedo or inside. The 911 Carrera uses spade connector. Chances are there is something loose inside. It could also be a stuck needle. Both require opening the speedo. And this is something that is better left to the pro since you have to undo the bezel.
I would talk to North Hollywood Speedp. They seem to be highly regarded. Kevin took care of my 964 speedo and was great to work with. Ingo

Mine does this... Have to 'thump' it with my finger anytime I start from a stop.
Been too lazy to pull it and send it to No Hollywood for a rebuild...

Mine did this and I sort of repositioned it in the opening and it fixed it. Maybe it bound up in the hole? I'm not sure but it hasn't done it since.

Hardly requires a "pro" to undo the bezel...

Less brakes, more gas!

Mine does this as well... have to get to 60 to get it to indicate on its own... It was rebuilt by Hollywood Speedo a few years ago for a broken trip gear... *shrug*

Than you all,
I will pull and futz with it, then send it out to North Hollywood if it's not just something loose. Great stuff! Akira28 ************ 1983 911SC Targa 3.0 1984 944 NA Barn Swallow (ie been swallowed by the barn while I was overseas and mice ate all the hoses). LOL |
