I need some small gauges that will work with my go Kart, it is just a 200cc motor. I need a speedometer, a tachometer, and maybe a temperture gauge. I don’t really want digital but i can compromise if there is no other choice. Any help is apreciated.

For a speedometer, get a bicycle speedometer. You’ll need to set it up for your size tire, butthey should have instructions included on how to do this. Guys who build electric cars use these a lot.
For a temp gauge check JC Whitney and look for minerature gauges. Buy a mechanical one and secure the thermo well (the bulb thing at the end of the small copper tube) on to the area of your motor you want to keep track of. One option is to mount it in the crank case where it can measure engine oil temp.
The tach is a little trickier due to the motor size.Try JC Whitney’s motorcycle catalog as they have motorcycle tacks for your size engine:
