Richard I do not if this has been mentioned but by change the fuel filter is not in backwards is it? fuel filters do have a flow arrow on them and if they are put in backward flow they will not allow the fuel to flow through. Just a quick thought since you say you are getting gas from the tank to the filter but not any farther.

TY Scooter. 1st off i think the speedometer would be as accurate as any gps device can be. It has it's own sensor which is on the top of the dashboard to get full view of the sky. What little I have rode it, it seems to be pretty accurate. (unfortunately the scooter now has an oil leak). 2ndis the tach, in the back of the original gauges there is a 3 wire plug for the tach. I used the plug from that to determine the pulse wire. If I am not mistaken I think it is a Yellow/White wire (the middle wire of the 3 wire plug) the other 2 wires were a hot and ground I think. I am not sure tho that the tach is correct on the readings unless the original tachs they use are debunked by a lot. When the old gauges were in, the tach would read like everybody elses at around 2K idleing, with the new tach in and a filter on it, it is reading in the 4K range idleing. So I am not sure which gauge was/or is correct. I don't really worry about the tach when riding anyway just when I am adjusting the engine, as long as it can read a steady pulse I am happy with it. The tach itself has an adjustment in the back to set it for different types of engines from 1 cylinder all the way up to 10 cylinder. I will get a set of original guages out of the storage shed and see about posting a pic with the wires I am referring to.

OK to start off question 1 about the gauges; I got the 3 3/8" GPS Speedometer and 3 3/8" Quad gauge setup from .speedhut.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.speedhut.com and the 2" RPM gauge from .glowshift.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.glowshift.com The quad gauge set you can get with different gauges.
Question 2; The seat and backrest on the trunk box I had done at an upholstery shop cost was right at $200.00.
The paint isn't all the great stuff just went to the local lumber/hardware store and got the spray primer and spray paint for plastic.

I have the front off my 54B and the ignition wires are same as yours. The hook up is as follows on mine; Brown/White(from ignition switch) to NOTHING::: Orange(from ignition switch) to NOTHING;;; Black(from ignition switch) to Black/White;;; Black/White(from ignition switch) to Green(Ground);;; Red(from ignition switch) to Red;;; Red/White(from ignition switch) to Black... Hope this helps you on getting the wires back together.

You could always go with original equipment from Competition Accessories here is the link for them;

Those are same as the old ones.

Thanks JR

The oil pressure gauge had me baffled. I searched all over the motor looking for a port. LOL
