:gah: My Hiney, is rather chaffed!
:Shrug: Mother Harley in her infinite wisdom no longer produces the fuel guage sending unit to fit my 1989 tour glide part # 75040 and i have had absolutely no luck in obtaining one! I have been trying for two months. I did buy a used one that had the same problem as mine, but thats another story!
It's time to explore different avenues.
The very small wires in the squirrel cage that transmit the signal are broken.
The rest of the sending unit is fine.
:Shrug: You know i'm willing to bet that harley davidson didn't make the half moon shaped wire cage that the sending unit uses to register?
Heck it's probably made in china?
I would almost bet that that same wire cage is used in other applications?
ARE THERE ANY ELECTRONIC TECHS OUT THERE THAT COULD HELP ME OUT ON THIS?
:Shrug: I bet Someone makes that particular little part of that sending unit.
If i could find out who, and figure out a part #, i would have half my problem solved?
Then i would only have the luxury of trying to obtain one little part instead of a whole sending unit?
:Coffee: Any ideas about who i could take that unit to that may be able to take it apart and re-wrap the wires?
