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.

As another test: try grounding (earthing) the Yel/Blk wire. Maybe the ground (Blk/Wht) wire is not really a good ground.
You can also ohm check the sender.
At full should be about 1-5 ohm.
At half should be about 25-40, at empty 100-120 ohms.
If you dont have a multimeter, I will say that you have a GS, you will need a multimeter.

In testing by grounding the yel.blk wire any ground place on the frame will do, maybe a bolt head somewhere or maybe the battery neg is close nearby.
FOr the ohm meter range, any range over 120, maybe you have a 200ohm range if digital or maybe 1000. General rule of thumb (I dont know why some rules are based on body parts or digits no less) is to start on larger scale and then select lower scales till get a readable reading, or can turn down untill overrange then go back one.
Totally off topic: In the old days you where allowed to beat your wife with a stick as long as the stick was no larger than the diameter of your thumb.
