My Yama Speed Gauge is showing 28 MPH all the time!

Post by KyTrkyHntr »

Anyone ever have their MPH gauge read 27/28 even when you're idling? It was fine when I left the ramp this a.m., but on my last run this afternoon it read 28 the entire time and even when loading up. I just got done flushing the engine and it's down to 24 so I'm not as fast when I'm flushing... :-D

Anyone have any ideas where to start? Thanks in advance!

What JT said.... Did you hit a stick or log? I've had the same thing happen... take a piece of wire and clean out the pickup hole..
