Speedometer Problem
« on: December 31, 2021, 04:16:51 PM »
Last trip out my speedometer stopped working. It drops from 65 mph to 0mph. then it will jump to 100mph and back to 0. Is there a sensor that controls this? Speed on my Aladdin shows correct speed. Any help as to what to check.

Mike check for loose connections at the back of the speedometer first

Had the same issues with mine. I found a loose 12 gauge ground wire hanging on the side of the fuel tank. I reattached it to the frame and it works fine now. You may also have a loose or rusted ground wire.
