Inconsistent gas gauge readings
« on: August 15, 2022 - 02:47:39 PM »
I'm getting crazy readings on the old gas gauge, for a while the needle would just sit at empty.
The old girl sat for over a year, then last week I took her out and it was the same old story with the gauge, I put 5 gallons in her and the needle sat on empty.
Then this weekend I got her out again, decided to put another 5 gallons in and BAM.......The needle went to full.......I only drove about 10 miles after that and now the needle is on 3/4.........What the heck?!?!?!
I saw an old video that Cuda Cody did back in 2017, he talked about the ''Electro Mechanical Gauge Voltage Limiter"
Could that be the problem?
The temp and battery gauges ''seem'' to be working OK.
I appreciate any suggestions....THANKS!!!

You're probably better to ask Cody yourself over at his new site ebodies.org  :cheers:
