Time flies

Post by Witzie »

Time flies when you're having fun, certainly when you are riding a Paso. But the clock on my PASO dash is taking this too literally, it's running way too fast. An hour takes about a minute to pas, you can see the handles moving. Anybody seen this before? Maybe a simple solution?

Time and speed are relative: The faster you go, the more time slows. So, go faster, your clock will slow down!

Seriously though, under Parts Interchangeability Listing = http://forums.ducatipaso.org/viewtopic. ... ngeability you'll find lots of good fixes and alternatives.

The Paso clock can be replaced by using the printed circuit board from Fiats like the Mirafiori, Tipo and Jaeger.
Wish I'd bought the 990 years ago

Winter is over in Holland so i took my Paso out for a spin. As my garage is a bit damp i had some electrical problems so i cleaned all the connectors which solved all the electrical problems. Guess what, the clock is also running perfectly!
