yes... the mecanical aparatus the "cable" plugs into... mins is screwed. It's the take off from the front drive cog. Awe crap I just looked at the breakdown in the parts diagram and I'm going to have to pop it apart again to see which side the "joint" goes into that's stripped.
(joint = #26 on this page:http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Snowmobile/1995/VX800STV%20-%20VMAX-4%20ST%20%28LONG%20TRACK%29/METER/parts.html ) my joint is shot but seems to me one of the two sides it plugs into is stripped or has a part of that joint snapped off into. I'll have to look more closely and let you know.. Never really worried too much about the speedo but thought it was about time to get that working. Will followup..
