    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fuel gauge sending unit repair with pics

Hey Jethro,

did the 2 wires from the sending unit have the same end connectors or were they different/opposite so that it would only be connected to the harness 1 way?

Paul

Ummm, pretty sure they have the same, cheap Suzuki bullet connectors on both sides. You could plug them in reverse- I think.
 
Very informative thread jethro....thanks.
I took my tank off to remove a failed sealer job and found out the PO must have left the unit in the tank when he sealed it:mad:.

I was trying to clean up all the old sealer and found that I did not like the possibilities involved and so I ordered a new unit.
Now the dealer I ordered from has told me that the unit is no longer available. Guess I will have to clean my old one up as good as possible and try to get by with it.

The clean one in your photos sure puts mine to shame.

BTW, anybody know where I can get a good sending unit?

Thanks again for your thread, I can see it has helped many GSer's.

I think I have a spare off a 78 GS1000 if you are interested.

i have on from a 81 750 tank.. what bike did he say he had?
 
All I see are red X's on the pictures. :(

My friend has a 850 with the gauge stuck at full. We pulled the tank and the gasket was cracked badly and we didn't have a new one, so we didn't check the sending unit.

I can't find any microfiches online with the gasket and sending unit, what gives?? How do you get OEM parts? :confused:
