Speedo cable routing.

[EastRidge]

I just replaced my speedometer with a like new unit I found. (109 miles)

The original speedometer would bounce like crazy, so I thought, well the speedometer is shot.

The new one bounces a bit, but I have come to figure that my newer cable, via the PO may be binding.

Please look at the photo, and let me know if this route is the problem. If it went "left" or more "up" I don't believe it would......not sure.

Thanks in advance

How is the cable lubed? Ancient sticky grease won’t work.

The cable assy appears new but I haven't pulled it. On the speedo end it "appeared greasy"

I guess I should eliminate that.

What is the best lubricant?
