Does anyone know ohm readings for a gas tank sending unit
« on: November 20, 2013, 06:38:22 PM »
I'm working on a sending unit and finally get it to read, but I am wondering if anyone knows what readings I should have with an ohm meter when full, 1/2 , empty.

The 51 Kaiser shop manual shows about 71 ohms brings the fuel gauge to E . About 10 ohms bring it to F.  I could not find any ohm ratings for a fuel sender in the Henry J manual.

Thanks for your help. I don't have a Kaiser manual but as you stated the Henry J manual didn't have anything.
