Odometer issue

[scanney]

Hello, most recently my odometer (and tripometer) have quit working. The speedometer works. The speedometer cable is new. This is a '72 XS2. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot? Thank you.

Did you spin it backward with the knob a few times?

No. I'll give that a whirl. Thanks

PS I see my handle is now XS Addict, not sure where that came from. Beer maybe
