I recently replaced the fuel gauge on my 1020 gas with a new gauge from this website. Yes, made in India. I couldn't bring myself to spend $100 for a NOS one I found on flebay. Sending unit is 30 ohms (tested), gauge "should be" 30 ohms based on the original part # it is replacing. Old gauge did not require a ground wire, new gauge has a spot for one. With a full tank of fuel the with ground wire installed the gauge read empty. Took off the ground wire and gauge read full. Ok easy fix. Now I have sprayed 2 acres of pumpkins 3 times since then and no movement on the gauge. Ohm reading is 20 from the sending unit so gauge should be approaching half full. The gauge is pegged at full. The needle does go to empty when the tractor is turned off. Is there anyway to test the gauge to make sure it is a 30 ohm gauge? Do I have something backwards?
