Can someone shed a little light on exactly what the magnets look like? I can rotate the wheel one revolution and only see what appear to be 4, not eight, dark spots? on the wheel like device just inside the sensor hole. Behind that when I spin the wheel are some large bolt heads or something. I tried to clean off the 4 things I could see, whatever they were, and got some dark gray dirt/grime off but this had no effect on the speedo. It was tested as fine by Overseas Speedo and I've put a new sensor from our host. The one thing that seems a bit odd is that the new sensor does not fit snugly in the hole, at first I thought it was missing the oring but it's on there...just not real tight. I tested the sensor with a VM and it seems to be working fine when I got a magnet near it.
