Speedo stuck
steff750:
;) i have opened k0 clocks no problem as they are plastic not metal ,and i do recall having erratic needles either in speedo or tacho a very long time ago ,anyway whenever i open my clocks for whatever reason i always give the mechanism inside a good spraying of WD40 it done the trick for me . and if you cant put it back together you might consider sending them to lecram then

Can you stop the speedo from jumping erratically
I probably bought the face plates from you.

I have sold over thousand face plates all over the world, so you could be a customer of CB750faces.com ;) I only know your nickname here at this forum.
I can repair the jumping needle, no problem. I have done dozens of these gauges. All vintage CB750 gauges bounce, even NOS gauges. I have never opened a gauge with a proper damper. All dampers were (almost) empty. If the gauge is already open, it's a good opportunity to refill the damper.
WD40 is not the right stuff to repair the damper. It could work a while, but it will start jumping again after a short time.

Are you the same people I asked to revamp my k6 clocks that you promptly relplyed Cant do anything past a k2?

Hi,
I can do the K6 gauges, but do not have replacement faces for these gauges. Ik have restored a set for a Dutch guy two months ago and he is very happy with the result.
Green1:
Can I ask what you fill the damper with or is it a trade secret
I will be buying another set of faces for a k1 as the other ones I bought were excellent.
