Bob,
That sounds a bit off. The 7.6v on the yellow wire to ground is fine, but the
black wire should be zero.
When you ground the yellow wire to the body, the gauge should go to max. Sounds
like you have a bad fuel gauge. Just to be sure you can try grounding the
terminal on the gauge that the yellow wire goes to.
Peace,

Pat,
With ignition switch in running position
Yellow wire to chassis is 7.6 volts, same as to black wire
Yellow wire to ground, no gauge deflection
Thanks
