Speedo not working properly
I have a 1998 Saltare. The right speedo starting filling with water the last time out. Does this mean that the 1/4" tube in the back of the speedo does not have a tight fit? Does the speedo work on air pressure or water pressure? To fix this problem, I was going to try to apply some gasket seal to the nipple on the back of the speedo and put the 1/4" tube back onto the nipple. Please lend any helpful information about how the speedo works and if my proposed solution makes sense. Another interesting point, when researching this problem, I removed the rear ski storage access panel and found the 1/4" tube connected to a 1/2" piece of copper that was about 1' long. I was curious if anyone could explain the purpose of this.
