Electrical gremlin? 900 1994

Yes thats the one under the panel. The whole unit is a sender with fuel pump attached by its side.

If you're doing this I'd recommend getting a replacement filter sock for the in-tank pump first.

Undo the plastic ring with hammer hits thru a block of wood to start it turning. If you use a screwdriver like I did you might chip off some bits off the ring. Disconnect the hoses too as the unit can't be pulled out without doing that. With the unit out you'll see a long plastic barrel - thats the sender with the fuel float disc inside. I used carb cleaner and repeatedly tip the barrel upside-down to make sure the disc is freely moving inside along the barrel.

The 940 uses a spring loaded fuel sender - the barrel was designed to extend itself out to the tank's bottom during installation. You'll have to compress (shorten) the barrel then tie it using string to make it stay that way. Insert back the unit (sender-fuel pump) into tank with the shortened barrel pointed at 4 o'clock position. Turn it down to 6 o'clock position and release the string. The barrel would extend right down to the tank's bottom. Install everything back in reverse order.

Be sure to do this at a place with lots of ventilation and disconnect the negative batt cable.



Regards,
Amarin.
