Fixed the fuel gauge. It hasn't been working, so had to dip to check fuel level.
Found the connection from the coil in the sender was broken. Managed to solder a short length of wire to the broken end, with the help of my son. Both of us with glasses and a magnifying lamp! Seemed to be OK, but when reconnected gauge still showed empty. Removed gauge and found the needle had stuck. There was a film of oil around the instrument head which seems to have come from the connection to the oil pressure gauge. Didn't seem to be any sealing washer there, should there be?
All now working, so today's job is to refit the instrument.
