Everytime I have a question I come to this forum haha!
I have a '85 Delta 88. Its my project/ soon to be daily driver. I got to take it around the block today... I'm in love!
Anyways, I was wonder why my speedometer shakes as I increase and decrease speed. It's like it's hacing a hard time climbing. Why does it do that and how can i fix it? THANKS!

If you are referring to the needle "bouncing" I would start by looking at the speedometer cable. The lubricant in the sleeve can dry out and cause the "spring" type cable to bind, and gives you an erratic behavior. I would try removing the cable, cleaning the housing out real good, lubricate, and give it a shot.

It shouldn't cost much for a complete new cable, if the cable is dry or rusted and lubricating it doesn't fix it I think that is the next step.
