An update on progress - I'm now confused!
Basically the float rheostat on the filter was beyond repair, so I sourced another. When I received it, it was an early model filter (non-orange clip_ so I didn't fit that, instead I just swopped the rheostat over (a quick soldering job).I also clamped the black hose to the filter with a hose clip as it had a tendency to fall off. I checked the operation of the float with a meter before inserting it in the tank; again after that I checked the resistance at the connecto on top of the pump. In both cases, the reistance was approx 40 ohms, with a small variation each side. When I turned the ignition on, the gauge showed 1/4 tank; tbh I expected more, but it is difficult to judge the level of fuel sitting in the tank, though both sides seemed similar.
However the strange result is from the diagnostics:
--6.0 = --0106
--6.1 _ = ------
2-6.2 = --0091
Any thoughts on this?
A quick drawing of my connections is attached.
I also came across a strange thing with the gasket - I'll keep this to a separate post.
