I've looked at searched but can't find the How-to to fix a sticking speedo.... anyone?

I need to share it with a customer, which will save me writing them a long email.

Is this by any chance the fault where the speedo suddenly decides you're driving at 58mph, irrespective of your actual speed?

If so, a sharp flick with the fingernail on the speedo front cover is usually effective. I suspect a poor solder joint, though it's also possibly one of those screws on the back of the speedo block loose. My next How To, if the weather behaves.

It's another dry solder break on the rear board, goes to 60mph and gets stuck.
