I picked up another 240. Its a 90 with est. 80,000(motor was replaced) Odometer says 147,xxx. Anyways to the point. The HUD doesnt not work neither does the digital speedo. How can i fix this? Or do i have to go and buy one from a junk yard?

One from a junkyard probably won't work either.

Common problem.

Convert to analog or have it repaired by an electronics shop. Use search for details on the analog conversion. Easy!

It's a solder joint problem inside the unit. Unless you're comfortable with removing and replacing solder on a PCB you're not going to fix it yourself.
