1949 WLA Speedometer

[1962300]

I have a stock 1949 WLA.
I have an aftermarket, but new Speedometer within the dash.
At less than 1,000 miles it seems to be playing dead.

I need to remove the cable from the back of the bike and spin it to see if the Speedo moves.
If it moves, than I know it is the drive unit in the rear.
If it does not move, than I know that it is the new Speedo that has failed.

And so...
Do I replace the Speedo with another aftermarket item?
Do I have the Speedo repaired?
Do I replace the Speedo with an OEM / Rebuilt one that is probably WAY expensive?
(And who would I find one from?)

Thanks!

Your WLA needs a stock speedo. The after-market ones look like they are A/M, and usually don't last more than a year or so. Contact John Bordas in Texas for a rebuilt Stewart Warner speedo for your machine. John advertises in the club magazine, I don't have his number handy here at work.
