I was originally quoted $100 - $160 for the odometer repair and I told them how it was reading slow. Ended up with a $300 bill the first time around and they said it was tested and ready to go. They claimed some internal housing was broken as well and a short on the board. So I bit the bullet and paid up. Get it back in my car, odometer now work and trip working. STILL READS SLOW. I check other things and everything checked out fine, so I return the speedo to them. They claim there is more broken in it and I get it back with an additional $100 added to the bill, but now the speeds are as claimed. I am really pissed off, haven't paid the additional $100 and not planning on it. I am half tempted to say screw them and send it to NHS to have it done right.

$160 to fix the odometer? To replace those little nylon gears? Holy mother of dry and deep I am in the wrong biz. It's a thirty min job. I have lost count of how many I have done and I usually get $50 plus parts and feel like I am ripping them off. Hell I even pull the unit and reinstall it.

Just pull the speedo back out and give the little screw a slight turn counter clockwise, If I remember loosening it makes it read faster. Re install and retest. You should be able to get it done in about three times.
Tell the other company to go pound sand and demand a refund

I assure you I adjusted the speedo in Lanna, a stock 82SC

Bacon as seen on Fb is duct tape for food. As in it can hold everything together.

Bacon is OK, but I have never thought is was all that great. I prefer ham.

I got to play in the garage some tonight. The fuel filter is replaced, the injectors are in place and the intake is done. The weekend will be interesting. I have big plans and hopes for the engine.
