Fixing the odometer
« on: December 18, 2013, 11:47:41 AM »
The odo on my 500/4 has stopped counting for no apparent reason.
Hopefully I should be able to fix it myself.
Any hints or things I should bear in mind?

Check the cable first, connections on both ends, take it out, spin it.  They brake too.

I was wondering about this. Can we test the ODO when its disassembled? I read somewhere here that there is a way to stick a drill motor and have it run, but it sounds dangerous.
