[AT] fuel sending unit

[charlie hill]

Try bending the float arm just a bit and see if it helps.
Did you add any additional solder when you soldered it back up?  Maybe the 
float is heavier now than before.
My hat's off to you for successfully soldering it up.  Last time I tried 
that I ruined the float.

Anybody here ever successfully repaired the fuel sending unit in a tractor? 
Pulled the one out of the 4020 yesterday to find the float was leaking. 
Drained and soldered it back up. Unfortunately the gauge doesn't quite agree 
with the sending units position. It takes a lot of lift to move the gauge 
off empty and it will not read over 3/4 full. It is a relatively simple 
setup and I couldn't see anything wrong so I cleaned it off and put it back 
in. I wonder if the problem is with the gauge or the sending unit?
