Brilliant teacher, easy to follow, concise editing! Thanks for clarifying faulty fuel gauge procedure and the cost of replacing same. I'll choose topping up before ignition : )
Ok, so you changed the part - fixed - but how about opening up the old part to find the fault perhaps it was really fixable, it would have made a more complete video in my humble opinion. Also, I agree with the comment referencing the float density in fuel rather than water. A follow up video would be much appreciated and could potentially save someone $150 and two trips to the JD dealer.
Someone who cleans as they work? I thought I was the only one. I've watched numerous videos by people I think are really good mechanics who don't clean things while they have them taken apart. I just don't understand.
I wish I could just power through and get the job done but the OCD won’t let me. Must…clean…while…having easy…access. Haha, thanks for the comment, it made my night.
Water has a density that is 30% higher than gasoline. So a float that sinks in gasoline can float in water. Since it appears that only about 10% of the float was above the water, I would say that that float would sink in gasoline. It should have floated with at least 30% exposed. You most likely had a bad float.
Awesome comment, thanks for the additional info. I tried to find the float itself figuring it would be a couple bucks. I found one forum where somebody did track down the float but it was nearly $25! I knew the new unit would fix my problem 100% and my patience was getting thin. Thanks for watching!
