1935, 1201 fuel tank sender

Posted by AJS On 2020/2/25 0:16:33

I need a new sender for my 1935 Eight 1201 Phaeton. I took the fuel tank out, removed the sender and called Max Merritt, sadly the reproductions they make are not right for my tank. My question is does anyone know how many OHMS the original sender should be. I connected an after market universal sender I had to the fuel gauge and nothing, my original will move the gauge from empty to full but the needle bounced quite a bit and is not very stable. The gauge worked previously with periods of a bouncing needle, then fine. It stopped working completely and this was probably from the cork float that was looking pretty bad when I removed the sender. I want to get the car back together ASAP and an aftermarket universal sender may be the best way to go. I am hoping one of you wise folks knows the maximum ohms required to make this gauge work. My original sender seems to read no higher then 34 ohms with the sender float arm in the empty position
Thx.
Andy
