Thanks Roland. I should have also mentioned that I have a ground wire from the
collar of the sending unit to the frame. But I also did not check that it was
a good ground at this point. It was previously.

Bad ground connection to sender would look like high ohm connection and give
you a 'full' reading. That's my guess anyhow

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel gauge reading full at all times
After the harness meltdown, which impacted the battery lead to the fuel gauge,
the gauge has read full and there is currently about ? in the tank. The gauge
has been checked twice and pronounced OK. Today I bypassed the tank-sender
wire with a jumper, same result?reading full. I removed the sender and bench
tested the resistance and got 2 ohms with the float fully down and around 70
ohms with the float lifted to approximately where it would be in a full tank.
From what I can find online this is in range. So I?m stumped as to why the
gauge is reading full. Thoughts?
