I searched a bit and only found an ST1300 thread that applied...
I have a 2001 ST1100 coming out of deep storage. Got everything up and going, just need a fuel gauge.
I used a DVOM to find no signal coming from the float mechanism no matter what position I raised/lowered the rod through the fill neck using a long screwdriver. Since we know there was varnished fuel, what is the wisdom of the list? Are there contact points or things that can be cleaned to re-use the existing float mechanism?
We did not have to remove the tank to clean what was in it, but could easily pull it. Or, is it off to eBay to find a replacement float assembly? The seal looks more of an o-ring, or does anyone know if it is an actual gasket that I should have on-hand before digging in?
TIA
