Re: Its a mystery

NO foreign bodies in the inlet and the exhaust is clear.Slide has been checked and moves in time with its partner.

Speedo cable length

I've sourced an adaptor for the back of the speedo which converts from kph to mph, but it means I need a custom cable making up with jap sizing at the speedo end. As I've not got an original to work from could somebody please tell me the length of a Kanguro standard speedo cable ?
