Fuel level sensor in parts fiche?

[Guest]

Like the title says, I can't seem to find the fuel level sensor the the parts fiche anywhere, the one in the tank that is.

Bike is an 82 gs650g. Sending unit is bad so the fuel gauge in the dash is useless. gauge works fine if I jump the wires, just kinda moves around as it sees fit instead of displaying the level of fuel...obviously getting a variable resistance from the sender.

I've had it out of the tank and it's pretty beat. I'll likely buy used, but I'd like to see if new is available, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT!

Also, what other models would use the same fuel sending unit? Looks like lots on ebay from other models, 750 850 550, etc, but the only one that specifies 650 is a NOS that they want $170 for....

Only thing I will add to the tutorial is to note the very fine wire leading to the windings on the waffle board from the units circular base. be super careful around it as to not snap it. Use lots of carb spray and a soft toothbrush to clean the waffle board windings and everything else inside the cover. Some 000 grade steel wool will polish up the slider thing nicely too

I imagine the sender is similar across a lot of suzuki's... but the float arm probably is bent different depending on tank model to register correct height.

Super helpful, thanks!

I'm going to order some new gaskets as mine are crumbling, then give this a shot. She's getting close to rideable!
