2000 GTX Millenium LCD Fuel Guage Not Working

[phatbasser]

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2000 GTX Millenium with 41 hours on it and took it out for the first time today. Ran perfect except the fuel gauge does not work. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? I do have the Shop Manual on this Seadoo but do not see a troubleshooting guide for this particular issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

It was the Fuel Baffle Sending unit. I was able to repair the baffle and saved myself a bundle. http://rivaforums.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6366050614/m/4411068803.
Disonnect your battery & disconnect the sending unit wire harness.
* To remove the fuel sending unit from the ski. If if is a GTX/I model, remove the glove storage box and the sending unit is directly below.
* Mark all lines and loosen the band clamps
* Next take a Volt/Ohm meter and attach it to the two terminals on the sending unit. You may have to get soem small alligator clips to help hold the meters wires to the sending unit's connectors.
* Next put your meter on OHMS, and tilt the sending unit up and down and watch your meter. the ohms reading should go from 0 -> 88 ohms. 0 is emtpy, 88 is full.
* This will indicate if it is the fuse or not.

If this reads fine, then it must be the float.

* Now, disconnect the wires and pop the pickup screen off the bottom of the sending unit.
* Let the fuel float drop out in your hand and see if it feels full of fuel. If so, you need a new float. they sell them at the dealer and you can find them on Ebay.

Thanks
