fuel sending unit for 95 speedster

[Bigmantony]

Can I use a 95 SEADOO XP FUEL TANK BAFFLE PICKUP FLOAT for a 95 speedster?

Yes you can. They do make a aftermarket plastic float for them thats only like $20 and they work perfect.

Can I use a 95 SEADOO XP FUEL TANK BAFFLE PICKUP FLOAT for a 95 speedster?

Did it work? I just bought a 97 Speedster and have the same problem. I tried ordering the complete baffle/float assembly, but just received a notice that is no longer available from the manufacturer. I just want my fuel gauge to work.

I'm cool with attempting the $20 float fix method, if someone has done it successfully on one of these old boats.

Yes it works. Its a pretty easy install. All you u have to make sure is on the bottem there are tabes on each side of the sending unit on the cap. DO NOT break or bend the tabes.

Well I replaced the float. No change. The orginal black one floated fine in a bucket of water, and the new white one still does not affect the gauge. It still sits around 1/4 tank, unless I unplug the pink wires. Then it drops way left below empty.

Oh well.

First thing to do would be to unplug the harness to the unit. Then stick a jumper wire in the two prongs and watch to see if your gauge goes all the way up. If it does not, than your gauge is bad. If it does, than there is a very small fuse built inside of the unit. Do a forum search and it will tell you how to find and fix it. I got lucky with mine the fuse was still good.

I am in need to fix my sending unit on my 95 speedster also, where can I get that $20 float?

The float will only sometimes fix the gauge, it is typically the F1 fuse that is bad.
