Hi Denis
I forgot to add last night, that the stud on the back of the fuel gauge that screws onto the metal saddle that physically secures the instrument to the dash needs to be properly boned to earth. There are actually TWO coils in the fuel gauge; one which is responsible for measuring the amount of fuel in the tank, and the other which is there to compensate for voltage variations in the dynamo.The battery voltage is higher than the nominal 6 volts when it is being charged.
Although the purists don't like them, your choice of using spade connectors makes maintenance and fault finding so very much easier.
Good luck in your continuing quest and best regards to Vicky. I shall be sending a PM 'Dreckly'
Cheers
Bob
