[Healeys] fuel gage sending unit

[Keith Pennell]

Ron,
Occasionally I encounter this prob but it is temporary - at least for me.  It appears as though the float gets hung or stuck in the up position causing a full reading.  I would first try bouncing the rear end vigorously.  Second try a few "aggressive" starts and stops to free the float.  Beyond that seems your only resort is to pull the assembly and inspect for hang up.
FWIW I may have an orig here willing to part with.  Let me know.

Subject: [Healeys] fuel gage sending unit

 Due to a leak around the fuel sending unit I needed to remove the unit and decided to replace it with a new one from Moss Motors.  The one I was removing was at least 12 years old but it did keep fairly accurate track of the fuel level. The new one seemed to work OK for a few hundred miles, but now it does not move off the full mark until the tank is more than 50% empty.  I have carefully checked all the wires and grounding connections and everything looks clean and tight.  The gage swings from empty to full when powered up so I doubt the gage is the problem. Any suggestions on what to look for now?  I have not removed the unit yet. Are there any “better quality” sending units available on the market? Thanks,Ron Fine61 BN7_______________________________________________
