Gilera Runner 125/180 Tempreature and Petrol Gauges

When I bought the bike the gauges was not working.
Everything else works fine on the bike.
So I am just wandering why these are not working.
My brother said it could be a fuse maybe? Or perhaps it could be the clocks.
It is no real issue to me as I make sure I always have at least half a tank.
But I want to see how many miles I can get to a full tank.
The petrol reserve light works but not the temp or fuel gauge??
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

 

change clocks?

 

tried punching them ?

usually works for me

 

spunk on the connections too

 

LOL @ kyles comment.

Ryan... your just weird. I'd much rather spunk over my birds tits if I had the choice...

But anyone got any real idea?
thanks.

 

u checked theconnections? the lil connecty thing on th top of the tank.. my temp gague dont work either

 

check all connectors, change clocks see if that works cocknose

wd 40 em lolz ?

 

I don't know when near empty is LOL
The reserve light works, I know that much.
The dials don't even move
I have to go by shaking the ped about and listening to the tank LOL.
Gonna make sure everything is in correctly tomorrow and spray all connectors with WD40. If no joy still then I'll bang another set of clocks on an see what they saying.
Is it possible that it could be a fuse?
Thanks.

 

well just check the fuses to be sure lol.

i fucking hate wiring

 

Jesus christ I fucking hate inner panels. They're such cunts >: (

anywayz. I got the fuel gauge working. Took the connectors off the back of the clocks, cleaned them and the points. And cleaned the connector coming from the petrol tank and it works now

 

cheap multi meter is abart 6 quid from maplins check there is currant goin to clocks then work back wards

 

Ill get one tomorrow, cheers for that mate.

Okay, it worked, went to the mrs. come home, stuck a diver in the tank, and gauge stopped working again >: ( :rtfm: :rtfm: :rtfm:

I got 132km before reserve light come on, but that was from a stand still full throttle from traffic light, when come off throttle light went.
Not too bad is it?

 

82 miles on a fiver?
82 miles per gallon.

Yes that's really good.

 

I didn't word it right Jeffy.

82 miles to a full tank :msn1:

 

How much do ya get in a full tank? £10?

That would be 41 miles to the gallon which ain't bad considering you got 25mm pm pipe etc.
