I see it has a speedometer. I have a '73 JDX4 (didn't come with speedo) and I need the entire speedo "kit" so to speak. Everything from the drive pin/90* adapter/cable upto and including the speedo/bracket .
I know a 500 after serial #11001- will work on my sled. If this sled is after that number and the speedo works what would be looking to get for the "whole ball of wax" shipped to 17304?
sorry so long winded.
Thank you, Bob

Sorry it is taking a little time. I am getting ready for firearm deer season this weekend. The metering leverI will have to look into. If i find time in he next couple days i will tear the carb apart.

The taillight is not the greatest. It's rusted away on the end where the seat sat on it.
