Did I mention that the speedometer was "sluggish", in that it only goes up to about 10-15 MPH even though I know I'm going faster?

Well, I loosened the front wheel speedo cable collar and pulled the cable from within the housing. The ends are different. See the attached photo:



The end that goes into the speedometer has a squared section, but I suspect it should have a swagged end piece ala' the wheel end.

Is this correct looking?
