Happy to report the brick is flying again!! Radiator cap was stucked.  Bit of vinegar as few of your recommended and it works again. Thank you for all the responses.

I'm thinking about it.....but first I am giving my original 1987 unit the spa treatment in the ultrasonic bath all weekend to see if it can be saved before lashing out that kind of $$$.....

Seems crazy expensive for a red light indicator.
I just posted how I cut off the whole metal float thing and holder, so now it's just a pass through for the fuel pump wires.
My trip meter works just fine! :-)

Seems like nearly everyone on here has seen and fretted over a rusted fuel send unit. Mine never worked, and I just got used to the red light on the dash and watching the trip meter.
After rehabbing the tank with Caswell epoxy tank liner, I wasn't putting this back in as it was looking.


While replacing the fuel pump wires, I decided to just grind off the whole bloody mess.
Made it much easier to clean off remaining rust with a wire brush.
Now this sucker won't be polluting my lovely tank.



Saved $269 on a new one and spent only $50 on some other parts, like a filler cap gasket kit. So yes, euromotoelectrics got some of my money.
As always, lots of choice words for the previous owner who parked this thing with 14,000 miles on it and let it fill up with water. Evil!

As I recall, the connector is under the tank on the left side.

I need to look, but I am pretty sure I have a clock, reset knob and a sh!t ton of stainless hardware. 

I can let you know what I have in a couple days as I am busy this weekend.

The Beartooth Rendezvous is purring up, right around the corner.
An uber-fun gathering of 90% BMWs and assorted other cycle brands. Great group of people, no tech tutorials, just peace/quiet and fabulous roads (tarmac and trail).
Excellent food every night, and a fundraiser lunch.
Best Deal is the cabin bunks for $30/3nights stay!
Call Charlie for questions 208-661-5639, or check the Beartooth Beemers website.
Aug 15th, 2024 (thur) to 18th (sun)
I will have camping available in Billings and our ranch at Sarpy Creek for those wanting to visit MT longer.
Hope to see you there, Cheers
