On the Morris the difference between the early and late model sender and
dash guages is the reversal of the ohms from the sender. If you use a late
model sender with an early model guage, then it goes to empty when you fill
the tank and goes to full as it empties! Can be really exciting for an
unknowing passenger.
Could this be similar on the Spridgets?

Re: Re: Fuel Gauge and Sender
Maybe your tank is full? :)
Sorry, couldn't help myself. No useful answer. I don't _think_ it's
due to reversed polarity since when I switched to negative ground, I
did not need to change anything with the fuel gauge.
Sorry I missed the lap belt thread. Maybe try:
