Okay,

Get the derned old rascal outta the shop, borrow a couple of bucks from the wife and fill 'er full of fuel. Gauge comes up to about an eighth of a tank and promptly drops to empty. Has stayed there ever since.

Checked it out, pulled the goofy sender tonight and of course the wiper arm isn't makin' contact with the rheostat any more. Old like me I ‘spose. :>(

Took a tiny lock pick and ever so gently, reached in behind it and bent the little wiper arm so that it had more tension. Works now! :>)

Hi William,

That's the air filter indicator. There's a little vacumn switch up in the hose going to the intake manifold.

My 4166 has the filter gauge on it too. When I first got it, it would drop down to the red when it got above 1500 RPM. So i thought, "change the filters". So I did. $50 later that silly gauge does the same thing. I guess it's just overly sensitive- maybe it had a bad childhood.

Paul,

Maybe the vacumn switch is bad? Sounds like it is the one that is overly sensitive?

Cool! Fuel gauges can be so rewarding because when they work, they work and when they don't,..... ....
Too bad it cost , what, $140 to fill it enough to make the gauge go up like that.
I hope you changed the spark plug wires on that 966 too, as long as you're at it. LOL.

i'm sure thinking so. in november i ran it dry because the gauge was wrong but that's another story. i dumped five gallons in it. used it a few times this winter but no more than maybe 4-5 hours. on friday i went over to the neighbors to fill up with his pre-paid no tax diesel ($1.25 a gallon, yeehaw!) and it only only took 27 gallons. there's no way there was 10 gallons in there.
