Hi folks. I have an issue with my Speedo. It doesn't seem to work. I disassembled and lubricated it and put it back together. I would like to spin it with my variable speed drill to diagnose but don't know which way to run the drill. Help!

One will work. ...............lm

Thank you. I was concerned about breaking it if I chose the wrong direction. I'll give it a shot.

I took a peace of the speed cable and put it in a drill and had to run the drill in reverse to get the pseedo to work, the drill was going 60 mph.

Now you know it works and as long as your drive at the wheel goes the same dorecton you will be good to go. ...............lm

Well, I tried it both directions and nothing happened. I'm not sure if the cable is making contact with the Speedo internals. I will have to pull it out and look further.
