I have been breaking in my 72 combat restore and I am having a problem with my original smiths speedometer. It worked great for about 10 miles or so then just quit. I am worries that my new speedo cable was too long and went too far into the speedometer. Unfortunately I didnt read about cables being too long until after running it for a bit. I have since shortened the end protruding past the cable crimp from 11/16” to 9/16” and it seems to be the right length. The cable spins when the rear wheel is spun, but the speedo wont work with a drill attached to the drive end. If the speedometer did get damaged is there anything to try before spending the crazy cash to have it rebuilt? Thanks
