Well, today I took the sender back to the boot and hooked it up to the gauge
wire and the ground, and it works fine as I raise and lower the float. No
idea why it is working now, but as soon as I get a new gasket I?ll put it
back in the tank and ensure the connections are sound and hope it works in
there. Weird.

Hey Bruce:
It sounds like you still have a gremlin lurking somewhere in the harness

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel gauge reading full at all times
After the harness meltdown, which impacted the battery lead to the fuel
gauge, the gauge has read full and there is currently about ? in the tank.
The gauge has been checked twice and pronounced OK. Today I bypassed the
tank-sender wire with a jumper, same result?reading full. I removed the
sender and bench tested the resistance and got 2 ohms with the float fully
down and around 70 ohms with the float lifted to approximately where it
would be in a full tank. From what I can find online this is in range. So
I?m stumped as to why the gauge is reading full. Thoughts?
