I noticed that my fuel gauge no longer appears in the sight glass. Do you think the whole fuel metering assembly has fallen down in the tank?

Any tips on replacing it?

Thanks

This must be a pretty rare thing to happen.

 

Did you go to Yamaha web site and look up the parts and diagram looks like you can replace it, but Im like you and would like to know if there are any tricks to doing it, I need to replace the one in my son Big Bear due to you can.t see it anymore

 

I bought the fuel metering assembly for about $31 plus tax. I'll try to install it soon and report back. It looks like you should be able to pry off the top cover on the tank to get access to the mounting hole.

I did fish out what looks like the rail that the float rides on, but so far I haven't found the other parts in the gas tank.

If anyone has tried this before, your input would be appreciated.
