<< Hi David,
 My 84 did the same thing...it was the lower speedo cable (dealer $340, maybe
 available at one of our list vendors for less).  Evidently, the twisting
 force(from lack of lubrication) causes the "spring like" cable to lose its
 tension.
 Try that and let us know:>)

Uh, I sell these lower speedo cables for $18 and they come with a lifetime
warranty.  You can give me more for them if it makes you feel better. :)
