John Gelfer Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have a sending unit that needs repair or replacement. It is out of a 1928 Gardner. It does not have any gears, just a cam which is attached to a copper diaphragm that moves as the float rises and falls. The total movement is only about 1/4" as the cam on the float rod has a very small offset. I hooked it up to an ohm meter to see if the resistance changed from one extreme to the other, but zip change. Has anyone seen a sender like this?

Durant Mike Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I know that there is several that advertise in Hemmings. I took mine off and cleaned the unit up with a wire brush. I'll need to get mine repaired also as the small pot metal gear broke when I touched it. So if you find a good one let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
