Gauges Gauges Gauges...

[emaken]

My main concern is the fuel gauge on this 94 Speedster I picked up... Runs like a champ hit 59mph on the GPS, all works besides the gauges though... However here is the kicker... The main gauge I am worried about working at the present time is the fuel... I know that the oil warning light on the gauge itself works because when I bought the boat it was low, once filled it went off....


I have seen posts about a possible fuse in or near the fuel tank itself but was unable to find the fix it page that was talked about...

Any idea's on where to go from here? The fuse on the MPEM is not blown, technically half of the gauge itself works due to the oil light... So maybe a link to this fuel fuse fix it? (I did not find a "fuse box" under the front storage either which may be normal for the boat..., but its in MINT shape... -the gauges)


Thanks!

Its most likely the actual sending unit in the tank, from what I've heard, something in the sending unit degrades over time causing the magnets on it to fall off and you won't get a reading.

Today I am going to go out and test the line going to it by jumping it... If I get a full fuel reading you'll be the winner, if not I'll be pointing my finger at the gauge itself... I'll let you all know how it turns out!

If anyone has the URL to that how-to for fixing the F1 Fuse for the fuel tank on it (if applicable to the 1994 speedster) I would appreciate it.


Thanks!

the old float is closed cell foam. They don't like alcohol... and with the new fuels... they sink. (Or the magents fall off) So... both problems can be fixed with a new style float.

The fuse is IN the sender. Once you get it out to put a new float in it... you can check the fuse soldered to the sender.

Thank you Dr Honda, this is what I was intending :thumbsup:

How did it go? I'm having a similar problem with my 97 speedster.
