    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.

Shorted Sending Unit Fix

If you ever have had the insulation rub off the wire that passes through the bracket youll need a fix that stands up to gasoline. I found that the red straws from carb spray work well. Unsolder the wire from the base and feed it back to the circuit board. Clean all the crud off the wire and stick it back through the bracket. Now slide the red straw over it and heat it with a lighter to bend it pointing at the post it was previously soldered to. Trim excess straw and resolder the wire to the connection point.

Steve..my thinking was that if carb spray doesnt eat the plastic then surely it will withstand any gasoline its dipped in.
 
Very good thinking. I might have come up with something similar, but have not (yet) had the problem, so have not been forced into the research and experimentation. Thanks for blazing the trail and posting the results. :encouragement:

The cloth like wrapping on mine had worn through thus the need to find a suitable covering that gas wouldnt eat.
