hi all,

Have no idea,im talking about the rubber round thing in centre of the hole,It is split between the fuel line,fuel in one end and out the other,it is all rubber and a resin filled back and has what appears to be a sender or power wire coming up to the console area.

fuel pressure - fuel gauge - fuel pump

I have no idea - Please help

Fuel flow meter.

Fuel flow sender. Would have been connected to a meter on the dash, or sounder, gauge etc.

Looks like a fuel sender for the older Navman/Northstar units.

Hey Adam, you gonna do a report of the rebuild on this thing mate?

[softplasticsdude79]

Funchy - I might throw up a mini report when shes a bit further along,its about a month of paint at the moment.

and thanx guys for the input,have another Q for you,how do i wire this thing up to check if it works,heres a pic of the back of the gauge and top of the tank sender what does the s-l-g-i stand for

S = signal to sender unit +
L = + power for the light bulb
G = ground (earth)
i = ignition + power
we normally wire the i and L terminals together to the ignition positive.

thanx Jim,Have tried this and the gauge is stuck on full.

[captain rednut]

Have you earthed the other terminal on the sender??
The terminal on the sender with the wire on the opposite side is the signal wire.
Does it only go hard over when the sender is connected??
thanks jim
