Hi Everyone,
I got a new WEMA fuel sending unit and a new gas gauge from a discount marine store. When hooked up the fuel gauge pegged all the way past full. Since we had filled the boat up on the way to the ramp I figured it was just reading full. After running around for a couple of hours the fuel gauge is still reading past full. After reading all the posts on this site I figured there had to be a short in the ground.
I grounded the sending unit directly to the battery with new wire and connections and still the gauge was pegged past full. I then grounded the fuel gauge directly to the battery as well and the results are still the same, fuel gauge pegged at full?
I have read all the posts on this site regarding fuel sending units and guages and am stumped?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
