<div>Ron,</div>

</div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>FWIW I may have an orig here willing to part with. Let me know.</div>

Subject: [Healeys] fuel gage sending unit<br>

<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any suggestions on what to look for now? I have not removed the unit
yet.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there any “better quality” sending units available on the market?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
