Hi everyone,
Im on my 3rd new speedo cable. Heres what Ive done in the past.
I removed the cable from its sheath to lubricate the cable. I made a mixture of wht lithium grease and graphite then put it into the palm of my hand and ran the cable through it. I put 3 cc of the grease into the sheath with a syringe at the speedometer end. I installed it making sure there wasn't any sharp curves or kinks and away from all heat sources. I put this cable on 3 days ago and it made it 30 miles before it started jumping ( jumps are 10 miles hour).
Is there another lube I could use? something better than what ive been using? What about this stuff?
