So my speedo is leaking....Scott at EI said that sometimes the hole it sits in gets rounded a bit. He said he was going to send me a fatter "O" ring for it, but forgot in his last shipment .
Anyway I wa wondering if a breather in there would be the ticket...I have been trying to fix this leak for about 1.5 YEARS.
Tried lots of different things but it never seems to work.
WOW when I get all this stuff done I will really be DONE....

speedo leak
Glad it worked. I had the same problem and was testing before posting.
I had cut a new gasket the same size as the washer from a cork blank. Only did 50 miles, but it worked too.

Leaking Speedo output
I put the new #3 seal, #13 O-ring and mine leaked worse than before I replaced them. I tried a generic O-ring above the # 14 washer, but still leaking. I wonder if the #13 O-ring causes the ring nut to not close as tight? (Mine was missing this O-ring)
What size O-ring did you use & where did you install it?
