[T3] Speedo question etc.

<x-flowed>Hi all,

Once my car started running on all four cylinders, I suspect for the 
first time since I've had it (I feel a bit silly really) obviously the 
carb balance that I had worked on before was put out of whack, since the 
right hand side was now sucking harder than it used to. I rebalanced the 
carbs, and it was quite a revelation. I think the car is actually 
running approx quite close to how it should. It idles quietly and 
without histrionics, it goes smoothly and feels like it has plenty of 
go. It's quieter and "calmer" than it used to be. Over the weekend I'm 
going to do a full tuneup to really nail it.

While I was out there, I put a new speedo cable in. Strangely enough, 
the brand new one that I bought recently wouldn't fit through the little 
square hole in the inner hub cap, so I used another one that I had 
around. It is a little too long, I think and is probably meant for a 
Beetle. Once it was installed, there was actually quite a bit less noise 
(the old one was kinked), and the speedo seems more stable, but there is 
definitely a clicking noise coming from it as it spins. Is it possible 
to fix this or do I need a new speedo?

Daniel
