While I had Dolly Clementine jacked up on the right side to get under her to R&R the speedometer cable, I decided to check out why the gas gauge didn't work. The sending unit is not working...it shows empty all the time and when I grouded the feed wire, the guage indcated full. The tank and sending unit were new from Moss a few years ago, so I pulled it off while it was tilted and checked it out. The float was filled with gas...it has a slight crack in it where the arm attaches and took all day to drain out. Testing with an ohm meter showed that the sending unit was good, so I guess the float that doesn't is the problem.
Moss shows the float available with the sending unit only...does anyone know where I can get just a float? or perhaps suggest a way to seal up the float to keep it from filling up with gas and floating. It would have to be some space age material to hold up submerged in the gas tank. I really don't want to shell out $30 for the whole sending unit.
Thanks,
Bruce
