fuel sending unit

[steveq]

gidday guys just about ready to start my 82 gs750e one small problem. there are 2 wires coming from the harness about mid bike one black with white tracer and one yellow with black tracer, im pretty sure that they go to the fuel sending unit on the underside of the tank, problem is on removing the tank there are no wires coming from it- should there be? am i on the right track and would these wires have been cut off?kiind regards, steve

Does the underside of the tank have a circular bolt-on flange for the sender. If not, maybe someone changed the tank on your bike. I assume there is a fuel gauge in the cluster?

thanks for the reply ive just been to basscliffs page and examined the tutorial on the sending unit it appears that whoever had the bike has modified the sending unit by removing the terminal assy and welding it up with a circular piece of steel! no problem short term but-i noticed that on the sending unit in the tutorial it also had a drain hose. not on mine now that it has been changed will this affect any thing? kind regards, steve

There is no drain, just a funnel cup to catch fuel if the sender springs a leak. When you buy a new sender unit make sure to get the catch cup that goes along with it.
