Perfect. Thats just what I need. Last night I was at the boat I cranked the engine and took the wire off the end of the sender and there was no change. I did not tuch the wire to a ground. I put a meter red to the end of the switch and the black to a ground. The gauge looked like it was serching mode. I did this with the engine running and with the engine off. It did the same thing ither way? So it looks like from what you are telling me my problem is in the wireing. On the back of the tokkle switch the wires were ont connect when I got this engine so I guessed at whitch spade lug to connect thek to. I would bet I have one of them wrong. Thanks for your hel.
