    tank float hookup

    can anyone please tell me where the connections for the tank float are at on an 82-83 gs1100e?? the PO broke the tank float so he yanked the wires to it and taped it off. i picked up a tank float at a salvage but cant find the wires to hook it back up. the old float looked like it was unplugged rather than cut. any ideas??

    take the tank off and look for a vacant plug, should be 2 wires in it
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Usually two separate wires, rather than a plug with two connections.

      Here is a picture from BassCliff's tutorial on Where do these hoses go?.

        Yep, back by the battery. But not being connected maybe they might have fallen down, look under left side panel also.

        Look for blk/wht (ground) wire and a yell/blk wire.

        All this I say is if it is the same as a G.
        And the BassCliffBikeCliff picture is of a G also (80 850G).
