What is the ohms resistance of the fuel sender to be?
Orrrr...what is the test on this when the guage doesn't work.
Thanks,
Corey

So your gauge IS NOT working at all?????

Here's this;
ohms should read at the conector plug:4-10(fuel sender up)/90-100(down)
this will tell you if your float is good or not.
Then we can take it from there.

I just had to replace my sender unit in my 2001 SXR600. My gauge would function just fine until 1/2 then it would drop to E and stay there.
It turned out that the pivot point for the float in the sending unit was worn and it would cause the "wiper" in the resostat to actually lose contact with the winding. This resulted in no reading at all on the gauge.
I replaced the unit, but I kept the old one as a spare and bent the wiper a little to ensure it always contacted the winding.
Hope this helps.
