Inoperative Oil Pressure Gauge

<< < (2/3) > >>

CC57:
Would appear I have a defective sender.

I have electrical gauges. I grounded the sender to the frame, applied power to the starter (flipped the toggle swtch up) and the gauge pegged. Which my understanding is, if the gauge pegs, the sending unit is bad.

Anyone know where I can purchase a new sender? Yamaha shop perhaps?

Thanks all

That's where I'd start.

The sending unit is not a Yamaha part. Try your local 600 dealer or Autometer gauges.

CC57:
Autometer said it's not their component.

So it's a direct purchase from 600.  $30 fort theunit.  Seems high.

I guess if another one fails, I'll change out the gauge and add a steel briaded line and go to a pressure fed unit as opposed to the electric unit.

Thanks all for you replies.

The only thing that scares me is if the pressure line ever lets go mmmm hot oil.
