Speedo malfunctioning??
Unsure if this is electrical or mechanical. Electronic speedo now reading vastly out, only really reads upto about 40mph, regardless of actual speed.
Not had chance to have a proper look, any guesses at speedo or other end as pis sibyls cause??
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not sure what type you have but check magnets on prop shaft. If ones come off then this could cause a problem.

I've just changed my speed sender - I did have a 2 wire reed switch and now swapped it with a 3 wire switch. Before, the speedo used to jump
around all over the place - now it's solid as rock!
So, it could be a knackered sender ?

Is it reading correctly up to 40mph?
I had a problem with mine before where the bracket that held the sender had moved slightly away from the prop.
Was fine at lower speeds, but as soon as i got to higher speeds, just dropped to zero.
Turned out the sender was too far from the magnet and wasn't getting a good reading

Not reading upto 40
Pekwah ah, it's not reading correctly at any speed, just shows a maximum of around 40 regardless of how fast you are actually going.
