Good afternoon.
I am working on a customer 1948 Panhead. The trip reset on the speedometer was frozen. I put some lubricant in and can move it with difficulty, now. I am trying to find out how to make this work easily/properly. May need a new reset mechanism, though he tells me he had the speedometer rebuilt. Could be the issue is that it has been sitting in a box for a long time before he brought me all the boxes, but I would like to make it work easily. The photos will indicate the lack of a spring, I took it off to try to make it easier to lubricate the reset. I cannot find out what the part number is for the reset mechanism. The 1936-48 Big Twin Models, pages 116-117 does not show the reset mechanism that is on this speedometer.
Maybe with use and more lubricant it will free up, but right now, it is very hard to move, but as you can see in the three photos, I can move the trip meter dial.

The number on the unit appears to be 90369. 20220222_144052[1].jpg
Thank you.
