You know me too well, I checked every store in the area. No owner raised their cup.

The interweb must have a source.

Bad news on Costa Rica....the whole country is smoke free. I'm down to four matches. You can't ask for them either. Still, being a greasy American I type from my hammock with a nice cross breeze with Fidel's gift to capitalism in place.

That must be number 28 or so?

Greetings,
We are getting reverse readings on the new fuel float/level sensor/sending unit bought from Colombia. Is there anything Eddy needs to know?

Issue - The gauge reads backwards and the needle goes past full and not completely empty.

I am sending a hand full of gauges up to APT for rehab tonight. All of the gauges had voltage issues.

Any help would be appreciated, as always,

Greetings,

Eddy has exchanged the generator for a GM alternator.

It appears the fuel sending units from Columbia are set up for post 1970 gauge clusters as it reports in reverse to vintage fuel gauges.

Soooo...I've had Chuck up at APT Instruments reverse the F and E on one of the gauges I sent up.

It is the only thing I can think of.

Sorry, but my OCD really hates seeing those batteries there. :shifty:

RiverPatrol,
I am having to accept it for now. However, the OEM location under the seat is not very easy to access.

I think next year I put it back to OEM but with remote terminals so jump starts don't require seat lifting.

Patrolling soon,
