I recently bought a TaoTao GY50 T3 a few weeks ago and I love this thing. I have not had any problems with it at all other than the speedometer. I checked the cable and it is still attached nor is it loose. At full speed the speedometer is registering 80 MPH, I'm definitely not going that fast. I was just thinking about replacing the speedometer gear puck as well as the entire speedometer. Before I do that, does anybody have any suggestions if you think that this is a bad idea? Thanks!

It's probably marked in kph not mph. Many if not most Chinese scooters do not have very accurate speedos regardless of the marking units anyway.
For the tach, you'll need to trace the wires, it probably hooks up to the CDI, but it may wrap around the coil wire.

Jerry is 100% correct. You are lucky if you have an accurate speedo. I'm one of the lucky ones. I just rechecked my speedo 2day with a speedo app on my phone , and it is dead on .
When you say your going to buy a new speedo puck ,do you mean your going to try to find a different puck gearing , or are you just going to buy a new OEM speedo puck? Unless the puck is bad ,there is no reason to buy he's.

I'm going to just buy a brand new puck, along with a new speedo Hopefully that fixes the problem. Last time I checked the speedo pucks and speedos . I noticed many said they would work on The 50cc - 150cc !! That's kind of strange considering there are a few different wheel sizes. No wonder the speedos are so off . |
