If the speedo went whacko and wrapped around breaking the needle, and now reads fast and doesn't drop all the way, I am thinking the magnet/spring (drum?) thing in the speedo gut has broken ... and you need another speedo.

I have had that happen.

Unless accuracy is not your goal, and if so, why worry about the needle?



Yes, I believe the needle will pull off ...start with the broken one, you've got nothing to lose.
