Just an update. GL replied and denied any responsibility. Offered me a $100 credit on future purchases. This is pretty well what I expected they would say but it doesn't make me happy. I was fully aware that the photos and description could be wrong but I never imagined that I would have a Bait...
Thanks Guyfang I would have followed your advice and marked it but all the screws on both senders were only part way in and on an angle with the black goo sealing them so I knew the plates weren't oriented right before I took them off. I learned a lot doing this and now even know what a SAE 5...
I was putting batteries in my new 2006-803A and noticed that the foam that goes over the lower drain hole sits about an inch above the floor. My 2004-803A has the foam right against the floor. I don't know if it was installed improperly or if it is a design change but it certainly won't keep...
I was just reading a post by Zarathustra "NO FUEL error on 802a/803a when there is actually fuel in the tank" from 2015. He gives an excellent description of the low fuel sensor. He also states that the holes in the gasket are not evenly spaced. That was my feeling as well. I don't think it is a...
No I started to remove the filler neck but then I decided to take the plate off the sending unit and pull it out instead. With the cross threaded screws and all the goo they used I didn't want to assume that they had it oriented right. Also taking it apart probably changed the orientation. I...
Well sometimes it's best to quit when you are frustrated have a couple beers and go to bed. In my youth I would have ploughed ahead and broken something. I got the sender out this morning. I noticed the slide mechanism was bolted to the round attachment plate. Once I separated them I was able to...
Thanks Mike. I have the fuel filler tube out but couldn't get past the guides it slides in. I was getting pretty frustrated at that point though. Today is a new day and I will give it another try. My arms are not that large. After Guyfang's advice I won't be removing the slanted panel so I have...
I tried that but he was "not in today" and since we were at a national guard site outside the main gates and I couldn't re-enter wthout accompaniment I was **** out of luck.
Thanks Guyfang, I assume you mean reach in through the fill hole. I thought of that but there is a liner that extends down quite a ways. I will try to remove the fill suround and see if the liner comes with it.
Thanks guys. Here is where I am now. I took the cover off and removed the only thing I could see that had a top adjustment. It had been removed before and all the screws were cross threaded so they had added a whole bunch of black sealant to seal it rather than properly installing the screws...
Rangerpig,
If you only live 4 miles away you should be able to avoid all this B.S. The best way to buy is to preinspect. You can verify with Samantha where in the yard it is, condition and serial #. Unfortunately that is just not possible for most of us. There were some very nice 802A's and...
Thanks again Chris you have bailed me out many times!!! I think I have al the TM's but I can't find anything on fuel sensor adjustment. Is it down by the rad once the top cover is off? Thanks Ted
