Concerning the speedo, for me it ended up being a quick simple job(!). The b-95 speedo was getting really bad last season, neither knocking, slapping the dash nor the trip meter method were working anymore. After reading many posts on it, I tried the light-handed method first, ie only a thorough clean of all contacts (and some dielectric grease (no re-soldering etc)). It's only been a short run so far, but all is good at the moment. For some a re-solder seems necessary, but not necessarily for all.

Update:
Speedo issue is back on the b-95....

I was waiting for you to report this have done this couple of times, with no lasting effect.
Please continue your research, and keep us posted )

Thanks, I feel so much better…

The million dollar question is if it’s a semi-loose connector, bad soldering joint, or either/or/both? For the b-95 my current guess is toward a connector, as it was working fine, albeit for a short while (a bad joint should have stayed bad).
