steingar Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 My gas gauges are still for entertainment purposes only. I had planned to deliver the Lucky Strike to Lockhaven to have them work their magic, but the 'rona seems to have deep sixed those plans. I stick the tanks. Thankfully the Mooney sips fuel, so it really hasn't been an issue and isn't likely to be. But working fuel gauges don't seem like such a luxury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Comes down to what you want to do... The old gauges can be OH’d... As David outlined above, they can be replaced with a newer version... Most people may prefer to go all digital JPI or EI with Cies digital fuel floats.... Some just need a good set of used ones... MS have sellers of those too... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragsf15e Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Jpi 900 is the best bet instead of reworking the 50 year old technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryoder Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 My Skycatcher sight gauges are great. Limited only by my eyesight. I tried having the fuel gauges on the 65C looked at and wasted 300 bucks labor for nothing. Salty replaced them with an engine monitor. If I did it now I would use a GI 275 EIS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
