Gotta love Chinese rubber By yoster (Read 683 times)

So I went to investigate the float in my tank today, as my gas gauge stopped working a few months ago.

I shine a flashlight into the tank, and there floats the rubber float.. split in the middle.. with bits of rubber coming off it floating around the tank. It's like disintegrating. Wonderful.

A 'fyi' to you all who have also had their gauge go kaput. Might want to check out your float and pull it out before it gets worse. I haven't pulled it yet personally.. will get to it eventually. But this is just even more reason to MAKE SURE you install a fuel filter!

On my 50cc it always took 2 days to register as a full tank. Now it just sits on E all the time. Never thought to check the float so Thanks for the tip!!!!!!!!

this happened to me last yearomg all the lil platics and foam

I think I'll just put a bobber in there on a string with little tick-marks. To check your fuel.. just look at what "tick mark" the string comes to at the mouth of the filler LOL. Genius.

these gauges on these bikes need to be called Chiese guess ometers instead of gauges

The gauges are just for show

My gauge will read full when I fill it up, but from there is not close at all to be accurate. 25 miles and I am at 3/4 tank. 50 miles it reads half empty, 100 miles it shows empty. Now how bad is that... I use the odometer and reset it after every fill up and when I reach about 140-160 miles I fill it up.
