    Gas Gauge

    Mounting some early 70's gauges on my 750 and I'd like to add a fuel gauge. Since it is a 1980, and we all love that petcock, I found a small elc. gas gauge from a yamaha vino 125, its small and will fit my bracket design, was wondering if it would work with the existing sending unit thats in the tank, I have 2 gs750E and one 550e tank, all with sending units, so I'm sure I can find one that works, currantly I run with out any gauges so there is no reserve on the petcock. The vino gauge has 4 wires, 2 for the unit and 2 for power.

    Experiment! The stock suzuki tank sending unit varies from about 1 to 100 ohms resistance - maybe the Yamaha is similar

      The presence of a gauge has nothing to do with the absence of REServe on the petcock.

      You just have that silly '80 petcock that did not have a reserve, that's all.
