i got a very annoying problem with my speedo
everytime i accelerate the speedo needle dies not giving me a reading. as soon as i let go of the accelerator the needle comes back to life and gives me a reading
has anyone had this problem or know what the problem is or could be?
cheers

Probably the connector on the back of the diff, the wire into the connector often breaks so you will get an intermittent signal to the speedo.

I had exactly the same thing!
Found on mine it was the connections to the speedo dial in the cluster itself that were at fault so every time I accelerated, the inertia of the dial broke the connection, and when I started braking, the momentum remade the connection.
Open up the head and re-flow the solder on the joints in there if the other suggestions don't work
