Disassembing speedo
 

Anyone know how to remove the guts from a Gaffrig liquid filled speedo? I removed the 2 screws on back that hold the workings to the housing, but something inside is still intact. The housing deflects when I try to push the workings out.

well, I had it chucked up in a lathe to turn the housing shoulder down a bit in a lathe so the chrome rim would sit flush with the bezel. As it was, there is the purple bezel, then an 1/8" of white housing, then the chrome ring. I didn't care for the white showing.
And of course my worst fear came true, the tool bit caught and chit went flying. The o-ring seal around the hose fitting got a cut in it, so won't hold the fluid in. But can't get the damn thing apart. Other than a couple of gouges on the back side, it appears to be fine.



They have an $80 min charge for repair. I think this will qualify as a repair. :rolleyes: :D I guess a call to Livorsi Mon is in order. I want to keep this on because it has the old Gaffrig name plate still with the Fountain logo

Livorsi repaired mine (leaking and faded needle), they changed the rim & tested it. Mine had the Cig logo and the Gaffrig name on it. If I remember they charged me about $45.00 and I had it back in 5 days.

I usually just tell them they are out of a new fountian never a problem ussualy send them 5-10 a year with condensation in them

Re: Disassembing speedo
 

How long ago was this? They told me on the phone a couple weeks ago when I asked about have the faded needle replaced, it would be around $80. There web site says $55 charge, but new catalog says $85 for repair for liquid filled speedos. Nothing like a little inconsistancy. :) All I need is the seal kit and how to take it apart. But probably best just to let them fix it and recheck the workings to make sure I didn't damage that.

Thanks

Jerry,

I have a couple of good used ones with the Fountain logo in the std white. They are the Gaffrig labeled Livorsi units. I have a few of the 80mph and a few 100mph units. Keep this in mind if you can not get the parts of if it cost more than the $55.

Todd, how much for a 80mph one? Liquid filled, needles faded?

I'm planning to call Livorsi tommorow morning to check on repair pricing, plus I would like the needle replaced.

Thanks
