sending unit sticking on my 150

[pokechop2006]

well went out sat for the first time an noticed that the gas guage was reading empty,rode for a bit an it came up in spurts then went down some an back up a bar,now all it reads is empty,gonna pull sending unit an was wondering how much of a pain was it to get out of the tank?

It's a pain. Gotta pull the engine.

Yes it is. Mine sticks at around half tank and occasionally drops down when I get really low. I just keep an eye on how much gas I have in it.

I've got to pull the one on my STX...

Yea it's a pain. That's why I never pulled mine I just fill it up everytime and know that I can ride for 3 hrs with no problem.

well guys i found out you dont have to pull the motor an actually its not hard to do,the worse part is taking off the pads on the side of the hull to get to the bolts for the center cross brace.once the brace is out the sender will come on up an out,yull just have to glue the pads back in place or better use double sided tape.my parts bike sender was no good too when i looked up the part on line in two different places both said the part was less than 4 bucks does that sound unbelivable?im going to the local bike shop today an ordering from them that way if its wrong its on them.

You got my attention, if it's as easy as you just made it sound, I'm down.

[x2ryder]

Yeah all you have to do is pull out the center brace. Reglueing the pads is the biggest pain out of all of it.

yea found out that i was looking at the wrong thing on the microfish the part i need is 320 bones at the dealership OUCH!

I'd try to fix it somehow before buying another one. You see them periodically on Ebay. Make sure you get the correct one for your model year, as they are not all the same.
