[Spridgets] [Fwd: Re: BE Fuel Sending unit]

[Maxime Slegers]

Hello everyone,

My midget mkIII fuel gauge reads half all the time when the ignition is
on. I've seen many posts talking of a full gauge when tank is empty and
vice-versa, but never seen 'half all the time when there's current getting
to the gauge'.

Any idea? Could it be a bad earth somewhere or is it possible that the
sending unit is blocked halfway?

Thanks in advance,

Max

>>The bugeye sending unit has the following resistance readings:

>>90 Ohms = Half tank
>>258 Ohms = Empty
