    Sounds like he's trying to hook up a fuel gauge and doesn't understand how the sender works on a SmartCraft with a 225 Opti hanging on it.

    The sending unit, doesn't connect to the engines, just the gauge(s). There's only one or two wires on most senders, so how many mistakes can there be?

    In the harness there are two sets of wires specifcally for these at the gauges end of the harness...just pop into any workshop and they will show you them.
