ok, I am rapidly falling into the trap of fixing stuff since I got the tank and fairing off, so far fixed spin tank captured bolts, speedo cable and choke cable, I going to replace the airbox since I have already being sucked into buying one, only to find out I need to remove the carbs :shock: :roll:
...since I also am going to replace the spark plugs I kinda feel it would just be easier to drop the engine out :roll:
...anyway, my low fuel light doesn't work I assume the sensor is shot, I tried to test it by hooking it up to a battery and light, light works put the sensor in the circuit light goes out :? , is this sensor just a switch and it should complete the circuit in the absence of any fuel?
I've never seen mine, but it should be a float switch.
If you unplug it and jumper the plug terminals, the low fuel light comes on? If so, then the switch is suspect.
Mine comes on when I have about 1.5 gallons remaining. I hit reserve at about 1/2 gallon remaining.
Both of ours come on at around 150-170 miles and reserve doesn't happen until 235 - 260 miles !
I use it more for letting me know it's time for a break ! :D
loooking at the wiring diagram, it's only a float switch, but it doesn't work, I assume it's regular fault, I have a spare tank and that one doesn't work either, but I stick to using the trip meter Triumph UK want £80 GBP for a new one :shock:
