Locked White face voltmeter repair


 

Hello group,
I would welcome suggestions on either repairing the voltmeter myself or comments on a shop that would repair the voltmeter
problem
The voltmeter shows a 10v current when ignition on and does not show any movement after that, even at higher revs. I’ve tested the voltmeter circuit with a handheld voltmeter and a newer green face voltmeter (currently installed). Both show a higher resting current (12.6) and climbing current when the revs go up, so I’m assuming that something is amiss with the voltmeter.?

I’d appreciate the groups thoughts
Thanks
Scott

Sounds like the needle gets stuck at 10 volts due to wear or dirt in mechanism. Hook it to a 12 volt battery with alligator jumper wires and bang it against your open palm a few times, see if it frees up. if it does you can try it again on the bike for a while. I have had needles get stuck on gauges where the dial warps and catches the needle so you can look for that too. No reconmendations where to send it but surely next person will know.

Just a small point...current is Amps, voltage is the reading on the meter

Terry Vrla is your man to fix it at a fair price

I would second the recommendation to send it to Terry Vrla. He repaired several volt meters and clocks for me and did an excellent job.

Can we make it a point in this club that if we offer a contact we try to include more than just a name? thank-you.

If possible, may I ask you how much is the cost to have the voltmeter/clock repaired by Terry Vrla? Thanks a lot.

Richard-

terryvrla@...

Antonio-
He repaired several speedos for me, 3-5 years ago, at that time the charges were $95 plus parts.

His charges were reasonable, and he is a gentleman.
Do not, however, be in a rush, he services them in the order he receives them.
Ask how far out his turn-around time is, I'm sure it must vary with the season, and then perhaps double it.
For me, the turn-around time was to be 8-10 weeks, and actually turned out to be 6 months.
Best-
George

Thanks everyone.
I’ve reached out to Terry.
