Trip Meter
 

I've got a problem resetting my trip meter. The knob, plunger, doohicky thing-a-majig is missing. I don't have the speedo in front of me to play with, but I'd like to have every thing I need to fix it when I do (in a week or so)… it's about 2500km south of here.
I guess the big questions are, does it turn to reset? Push or pull to reset? Is it metal, plastic, or bamboo?

Thanks :)

It turns forward to reset,It's made of plastic with a threaded metal end that screws into the housing. :yes: :2tup:
It also turns forward to install.

Thanks, Blaine :)
That helps a lot. But, I'm still a little unclear. The "threaded metal end", does that screw into the casing, or into some part inside the casing. In other words, is it a guide on the outside, or does it thread onto (or into) something inside :??:

It threads on to a pin inside the housing.The plastic knob has a shaft about one inch long,the end of the shaft has threads on the inside.

Most excellent! Thanks again :2tup: :2tup: :2tup:

hen installing the new knob for the trip meter you might want to dab a tiny bit of Blue Loctite into the shaft. It will not come of again due to vibration.

You can get a new knob??? The parts manual only shows the whole unit "speedometer". I figured I'd have to jerry-rig something…
Please, tell me more :2tup:

I don't think there is one listed.If you take the chrome housing off you can see much better what you might need.Only one screw and a couple of bulbs to remove.

Good idea, Blaine. Will do... And thanks again :) :2tup:

Your probably going to have to get another speedo. Ron Ayers parts microfiche only show the speedometer. No separate parts.

Maybe a used one from eBay? :cry: :tdown:
