Gas gauge is...sporadic. By FACE PLANT FOR LIFE (Read 423 times)

[FACE PLANT FOR LIFE]

So I've been noticing that mid-riding, my gas gauge will just..turn off. Stop showing anything. Just show zero. And then sometimes (not likely) it will come back up to displaying a proper amount if I hit a bump or something (maybe it's related.). But most of the time the ignition needs to be turned off and then back on again for it to start working. Until today. Today it just stopped working mid-ride and won't work at all now. What should I check to make it work again?

Check behind the instrument panel and see if the wires are on nice and snuge.
If all is good then you will have to take the Float assembly out of the tank and adjust it. It could be hanging up due to being to tight or to loose or the float is toast.

I gave a friend a used 50 that has a bad connection under the speedometer housing....one of the plugs....fuel sending unit is not high on list of suspects but those connectors and plugs are.
