fuel gauge -- reversed

I noticed that after I put everything back together on my gs1000, the fuel gauge was reversed (when full showed empty and when empty shows full)...so I just reversed the two connection wires and now it seem to work ok.

Does this mean that I somehow put the float in upside down or what?
 
i dont think you can physically fit the float upside down. you must have just crossed the wires over somehow. did you strip the clocks and refit the wires in there crossed up?
 
oh, maybe when i was working on the speedo i got something reversed, but inside the headlight and inder the tank i thought i had all the right colors together.

I'm guessing it's no biggie to just have the colors reversed on te wired under the tank.
 
i don't see how that would happen.. it's a resistor.. resistors have no polarity.

but then again.. i think i've seen everything, then I see MORE hahha.

I think there is a simpler reason..were you upside down looking at it hahha..

or for example.. perhaps the wire was grounded out and gave an erroneous reading at some point ?
 
are you sure you didn't mount the clocks on upside down? hehe

seriously, inside the clock housing there are 3 wires to the fuel gauge black and white, orange and yellow and black.
the yellow/black comes from the sender,orange live,black ground.i'm guessing if one of these are crossed up then it could cause it to read backwards........
