I understand why all should work correctly on a restored tractor, but this
sure is getting complicated. The gage on my 340U has not worked since I
have owned it. I think it stays on empty. I carry a stick in the battery
box behind the seat. When I want to check the gas, I take off the cap, wipe
the stick clean with my hand, and tap it into the tank to the bottom. Then
I pull the stick back out and look at it. I know I am just a crude old man,
but it sure tells me how much is left in the tank. Grin. I know, the
correct police would never buy into that program.
