    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can anyone tell me the high/low ohm range of our GS tank fuel-level senders. I thought this was in Jethro's posts somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks, Hugh
 
This is out of my 850 manual:

Thanks, Steve. The digital gauges @ www.kosonorthamerica.com need approx. 100 - 500 ohm range to function. I imagine I could increase resistance of the factory sender with some in-line resistor-doodad to get it in the right ballpark. *doodad is an official electrical engineering term*
 
You could get the warning light to work right but I'd guess that's it. Probably better call them and find out for sure. You can add resistance but you can't multiply it. Maybe you can adapt a fuel level sender that it's designed for.

Since you are evidently versed in correct terminology, don't forget to "groundhog" the system when you are done with your engineering.

Groundhogging involves placing your back to your work, and turning the switch ON behind your back. :-s
If you see your shadow on the wall in front of you, you will have another six weeks of troubleshooting. :-\"
