Im having a spot of bother with a '59 Sprite. The fuel gauge always
registered about a third full so while I had to remove the tank, I
carried out some resistance tests. The sender unit came up as faulty
so was duly replaced. Now that the new sender unit is in place, I am
getting full on the gauge when the ignition is on. I have checked the
wiring to the sender unit and it is not earthing anywhere. The owners
handbook has some tips regarding testing of the fuel gauge which I
have tried but I am still reaching a wall. Perhaps I am missing
something really basic but one of you chaps may know instantly where I
am going wrong. With the wire to the sender unit disconnected, I am
getting the same result on the gauge. With the ignition on there is
12v between the incoming supply and the chasis. Just for info it is
+ve earth.
Grateful for any help.
Cheers
Mike
