2nd Gen Fuel Sensor

Can these things be cleaned or anything?



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Mine comes on very slowly and incredibly late. (and on a few occasions not at all)

I figured since it looks like the previous owner had the tank coated it must have gotten gummed up or something.

Anyone have experience with these things?

 

I would try some solvent at the base to try to disolve the gunk as a test and go from there. If all else fails I think I can come up with one for you. Super Tex left a parts tank here and I saved the parts off it.......may turn into a hunt........looked for an hour today for a gen2 Ohlins and still have not found it.

 

Thanks Toe.

An ohlins shock eh? You got anymore 2nd gen goodies lying around?
I'd like to do something about my saggy rear shock.

 

Aboot to post up some gen 2 goodies for sale......photobucket is giving me fits but will try to get them up tonight.

 

You posting them up on vfrworld...or elsewhere?

also if you need a hand uploading pics lemme know.

 

If you happen to have a left main step holder that would be sweet.

 

I will post them up here.

 

How does the sensor work?
Does tha lack of liquid touching the top portion of the sensor turn the light on?

Can I test it somehow?

 

So I tried soaking the tip in Seafoam but it didn't help...that coating is on there good.

I eventually got a small threading needle and cleaned the 3 holes so they were free of the coating.....hope that helps cause these things are NLA from Honda.
