59 Apache 6cyl original. Speedo works in warm weather. When below 50 degrees won't come off zero. Any ideas

Remove the cable and clean it. Could be gritty lube in the housing.

Thanks I'll try that but it looks like either way it should turn some in hot or cold weather. Works fine when warm. Thanks again for the reply...

Could be dried up grease and gunk in the speedometer.

If you don't want to remove the speedo take the cable out and shoot some WD40 with a straw in the speedo at the cable hook up
