JCL MP250A Fuel Gauge Not Working By quadrunner (Read 1,006 times)

[quadrunner]

Bought this scooter used for a good price but it needed some TLC. Now I managed to solved pretty much all the problems it had cept for two.

Fuel gauge doesn't work

Radio doesn't work (not really important but any input is appreciated)

Is there a sensor, ground or anything that can help me solve this problem?

Any help is great appreciated.

Fuel gauge. Have you tested the two wires that come from the guage? Have you pulled the gauge from the tank to make sure the float is free to move?

Radio is something I wish I didn't have so I know nothing about that.

I haven't checked the float on the gas tank cause I have no clue where it might be I checked the connections to the gauge cluster and they seem to work fine. The radio is one thing I can live without but I wanted to make it work cause I am a bit of a perfectionist and I wanted it to work even if I wasn't going to use it.

For me the gas tank was under the front of the floor boards. My scoot has a raised center in the floor boards and room for a water tank and gas tank. It was a covers off experience and how much must come off depends on your particular scooter design.

Mine has the Linhai/Yamaha engine but I can't seem to open the floorboard to check on the system. I removed the front plastics to install some HIDs and I checked the radio, no clue how that works and I don't think I'm in the mood to chase that problem. Might as well jus get rid of it and get a better one.

Have the scooter ready for the valve adjustment and I thought about checking the sending unit but that gas tank is in a tight spot.

Any tips that might help me access the sending unit?
