On a mechanical (cable driven) speedometer, the problem's the drive unit, the cable, or the speedo head itself. You stated the cable is good, so let's eliminate that. You can attach the inner and outer cable to the speedo head, chuck the bottom end of the inner cable in a drill motor, and spin it to see if the speedo head responds. If not, new speedo needed. It both the cable and speedo head are good, then it's the speedometer drive (I believe it's in the rear brake backing plate) is probably bad. Remove it and inspect/replace.

You have a loose electrical connection. Check the wiring to the coil(s) and check all of your grounds. If it only occurred on 1 cylinder, odds are it's not a loose ignition connector.

Try loosening the gas cap to see if the tank is venting properly. Gas can't flow from the tank unless air can get in to replace it. If loosening the cap solves the problem then try to clear the vent in the cap or just get a new cap.

This sounds like your starter motor has packed up, the clicking sound you hear is the celinoid kicking in, but the starter is not turning, try replacing the starter motor

You can remove the air intake and spray down the inside of the carb with carb cleaner to attempt to clean the jets. You can also try removing the fuel feed line and spray some carb cleaner in there.

sounds like the bike is running out fuel the pump is not holding pressure it may be a relay or a clog in the gas tank or a bad fuel line ck fuel filter for flow with a ck of those things or you will find it the carbs float needle may be stuck as well it will let it get fuel to fill the bowl but when you run the bike it wont let enough fuel for wide open running for a short time

the noise you hear is the celinoid it is more then likely do to low voltage replace the battery clean carbs and it should start and run great I would also put fresh gas in it
