Default Only the rpm guage works right....WTF?

Ok do really, only the rpm guage works all the time. The rest move, but are not right. Like, when im doing 45, it might say 60 or 70, just way off.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Moe

Two places at top for o ring. Pump and sending unit. Evap has grommet. Gasket half way down tank for fill tube. Of course the tank may have a rusted out place. Drop the tank and look around.

bubba.. do you ever read your posts back to yourself?


OP, the speedo issue could be due to a gear change, and someone didnt put the new VSS gears in. The rest of the gauges can be related to faulty sending units, or a bad ground.

Dang Adder, must of lost my place lost my place. Was reading something about a leaking fuel tank. Can I suggest it is my age? How about the air quality? Heat index of 100* F and there is a 19,000 acre fire in Holly Shelter. Air quality is purple. Unfit to work or be in. Fire over 30 miles away and dropping ash here. Smoke is out over 60 miles, Hazy. Maybe just a brain fart. Lots of gas lately.I do not use drugs or alcohol so, just dang man. Oh my.
