 Here's the new scooter and the 2 happy girls. Just enough room for me to fit in between and go on little joy rides around our neighborhood. |

Thanks for the insight both of you, I took the float assembly out as I already had the plastics off, and the clip that is on the float arm where it goes through the mount and pivots was too tight and was causing the arm to bind up. I pulled the clip away from the mount a tiny bit and she freed right up. The gauge works like a champ now.
Thanks again

I looked all through the forums and could not find any posts about this problem, if there is an answer somewhere that I missed please link me to it.
My scoot is a Znen ZN250T-D, it is a 2011 and has 190 mi on it. I just bought it from a friend that bought it new and had some electrical problems with it. He had repaired some of them and after I bought the scoot, I took off the plastics and re-repaired them. I took out the wire nuts that he used and did some soldering and heatshrink work to fix it correctly.
The fuel gauge is reading just over 1/4 tank and I filled the tank and the needle never moved (the needle drops down when the scoot is off but will only go up to indicate 1/4 tank). I traced the wires and found that one of the things he had done is cut the yellow/white wire going to the fuel level sensor and bypassed the connector. He butt connected this connection, but I cut the butt connector and soldered it back to the factory set up. I tested the connection and it is making good contact.
Even after fixing the connection, the gauge still won't read correctly. Any ideas or experiences relating to this problem?
Thanks for all the information that is passed around the boards, I have already used some to work on this scoot!

New to scooting, I picked up a 2011 Znen 250 from my neighbor to give my kids rides as my 1000cc sport bike is a little too powerful for my little girls to ride on. My youngest daughter (3 1/2 years old) loves the scooter and sings the whole time we are on it. I have been a lurker for a couple of weeks, but now I need to thank those that have helped me diagnose some small issues with the new scoot. This forum is great!
