hi all.

my dad has recently got a novak gt7 speed controller, and has taken off the chip / board, thinking that it wasnt needed, i too thought the same, its not in the instructions as far as we are aware....

is it neccisary to have on or is it just like having a power cap on it ?

he has a power cap fitted on the speed controller as normal.

I'm guessing here, because I've never used on of these speedos, but from the pic it looks like it might be a voltage regulator.

Is there some writing on the 3-legged chip? Maybe something like 78LM05 or something similar?

Later GT7 came with a pre-wired external diode.
