2003 Crestliner 1600 tiller, 40hp Mercury 4-stroke
last summer my motor stopped running. After a lot of debugging I added about 2 gallons of gas and it started and ran perfectly. Gauge showed 1/2 tank. Ran fine the remainder of the summer. Thought sending unit.
just digging into it. Tested gauge and it works.
I have the sending unit out of the tank.
the gauge starts at 1/2 tank when the float is all the way at the bottom. It doesn’t start to move until I hit about 1/2 way up. At that point it moves from 1/2 tank to full.
so here’s my dumb question. Does it work any differently in gas than me moving it manually? is it obviously broken considering it never goes below 1/2 tank no matter where the float is?
