Silly question Steve but you have checked the gauge but taking the wire of the cender and connecting to earth to make sure you get the full reading.

STEVE, late type black speedo should have sender unit with a lucar push-on
type connection. If that is ok then follow Kevins advice and check that the
sender unit is fitted so that the float can swing in a straight line between the
rear wheels with the Lucar terminal pointing towards the OFF-SIDE wheel.
