fuel gauge inop
Hey all-
2004 Deuce, bought it from good friends dad who told me he replaced the tins and ever since the gas gauge reads empty and its starting to really annoy me. 14k miles, EFI, tune. Anything I should try prior to taking the tank off? This is my first Harley so i'm not sure how the fuel gauge even works. Thanks for any advice.

. . . speaking of mileages. I had an experiment on Monday where I was at the tail end of a 500 mile day (Watkins Glen to Columbus, OH) and got a little lost in back country. Not a gas station in 30 miles . . . and my reserve fuel light was on for a long time. Well, I just made it to a station with 220 miles on the tripmeter. The pumped gas was 4.8 gallons. So I figure that 220 is a good figure to keep in my head for maximum range before foot power takes over . . . .

It is easy to screw up the fuel gauge connector if you don't know what you're doing and/or don't have the right tool for compressing the pins so that you can take the wires out of the connector and pull them up through the tube that goes through the gas tank.
