Float/gas gauge sender

[scsbronco]

Hi there!


My father in law was kind enough to take delivery of a 1991 K100Rs for me. He's in the process for going through the gas tank. He's replacing the fuel pump and the fuel lines. He dropped the sender out. It appears to be in unsalvageable. Are there any quick fixes, tricks, or replacements for a reasonable price?


Below are some before and after pics.

Thanks

Have you read this comprehensive thread discussing this part? The part might be salvageable. Anyway, the thread is excellent reading and will occupy time until the tricks and tips arrive. Reasonable price might be a little more elusive. Abandonment then relying on odometer calculations is the least costly option.

That's an excellent thread thank very much

Reasonable price. Email me.

If your tripmeter works, it is a very good way to keep track of fuel.  Even with the working sender and idiot light on my bikes I watch the tripmeter to keep track of fuel level.  I do it so I fuel up before that annoying and stress-inducing Low Fuel Light comes on. 

On my bikes I can easily get 210+ miles on a full tank, but use 180 as the benchmark for refueling.   Just by glancing at the tripmeter I can tell how much fuel/range I have left.

That was also my practice in the past too. I was just curious about the sender. It's nice to get such quick responses.
