Forum, I am getting to the assembly stage of my rebuild and would like to test my speedos prior to installing the fuel cell. Is there a simple test to perform such as 5PSI = 20MPH (made up numbers) ? What is a failure symptom of the aluminum tubes vs actual gauge? Thanks. ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

Should have Googled first.. my bad. 30psi= 50mph and I just found out that the equalizers tubes aren't needed and are recommended for removal. Do you agree? ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

It depends on the age of the gauge. I'd leave them in on older gauges. (roughly pre mid 80's) ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

These are 1978 Pete. I am lead to understand they slow the action of the speedometer. I ride in areas with rather short runs. ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

I'd leave them in. They where designed to slow down the gauge needle movement so they aren't bouncing all over the place but also, the dampening is easier on the gauge internals. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Just make sure they don't leak I found a small crack in one of mine (leaked like a sieve) After repair I put hose on each end dropped it in a bucket and pressure tested. |
