Speedometer woes

[Paladin]

My speedometer is stuck at full deflection (80mph) at all times, power on, off, moving or stationary.

How can I go about troubleshooting this? I'm guessing by previous posts that speedometer troubles are pretty common?

Dave,

What kind is it, what model etc.. Need to know so the correct information can get to you.

I haven't pulled it or looked behind it yet but I didn't see anything on the face at all indicating a brand....unless I missed it which I guess is possible.

I guess I'll have to pull it or something.

hello from tyler tx
i had  the same problem when i bought the 80 model prevost , except mind would go to 0 and come back up.  sometime not work at all. as we say in texas a tall. my mechanic told me that i runs off of the left front wheel. it is some thing similat to a roller that rides on the brake drum.  seems to work ok now.   thanks jt.
