Johnny B chimed in and I thank him
"In really cold weather using the wrong lubricant can cause the cable
to twist, become shorter and fail. There are severe cold wether lubes
available. A snowmobile shop should have something that works."
Do these cables require lubrication? I heard not in past correspondances.
Anybody confirm Johnny Bs expereience please? The cable has gone out at
3000 miles that is some kind of freaky. If so I will luber her up but how.
Just put the jizsm in on the business ends?

About 2 to 3,000 miles ago on my 300D had some trouble with my
speedometer
not working. I know this drill so I replaced the cable with new
(installed
correctly) and had the speedometer sent out to Overseas Speedometer to
have
it looked at and serviced. Yesterday with temps around 25 degrees F
was out
on the highway everything worked fine. Last night temps dropped to 5
degrees F and when I went out to this morn noticed the needle on zero
and no
little digits going around.
QUESTION: Can/do/ have any of you experienced the same? Or am I
destined
to do this drill every few thousand miles? Two things I can not take.
Not
knowing how fast I am going or how far I have gone.
