TD speedo

["John H. Gindlesberger" <jhgindle@wcnet.org>]

Before I stored my 53 TD this fall, I had a problem with the speedo.  It
functions and seems fairly accurate, but it responds to speed VERY
sluggishly.  When accelerating, for example,the car's actual speed and
that indicated on the speedo are grossly different.  As the car reaches
a steady cruising speed, the speedo finally catches up.  The reverse
happends when decelerating.

I've had it apart and cleaned and oiled it, with no change.  I alos
replaced the cable.

Any ideas?

Thanks, John
