seadoo islandia gas meter and sender unit

[Jocke Sweden]

After running low on gas I have decided to look into the problem with the gas meter or sender unit.

It only shows a bit over the red mark on the meter, even though almost half or full tank.
So...
The sender, meter or wiring fault?

I took out the unit. I can't see no magnet only like some integrated circuit with some resistor on it? No shown faults. Nothing in the tank.

If that's what it looked like when you pulled it out, you are missing the bottom end cap. It has a screen in it and it holds the level float in the sender. The end cap and float must still be in the tank.

The End Cap is not missing, its just not in the picture. Byt still No float? Should it be, pics??

Yes there should be a hollow plastic float with a magnet attached to it. It rides up and down inside of the sender. The magnet toggles the reed switches giving a level reading to your guage. My float is white and kind if half moon shaped. Sorry I don't have a picture.

Thanks. I googled it saw a picture of it...Hum...maybe it's in the tanj

Can't find it...can I replace it with an magnet with float, anyone who has made oneself?

The real question is: How did the the float get out of the tube with the end cap on?

That a question , Haha...don't know. It's my first season with this boat so I'm still learning and figure out the boat...
Obviously the float is missing and I can't see it in the tank, if its there anyway?
The easiest way is to buy a new float and mount I think...
Can the float be bought seperatly? Price?

Ebay has a couple of them listed. Don't know if it is the one you need. Search "Seadoo Fuel" on ebay.

I have ordered a new float now. Updates when I get it home and put it in
