Ok whats the most comon reason for a irratic fuel gauge? first time started in the day will always go to full, after turned off two or three times will give the correct reading, any clues guys?

Also my efing motorbike the speedo has stopped today and only works when going around a left hander at a good lean! electronic speedo and italian bike!

Answer for the first one only :)

Think yourself lucky, mate.

Round my neck of the woods things come in 3s!
I'm not completely perfect.......there are some bits missing or broken.
But the weather here helps!!!

yeah 3's I'm afraid :(

BTW...you mention an Italian bike....the senders etc are normally Bosch, which I think are German ;)
So...all the electrical problems on my Alfas are caused by German Bosch parts......go figure :?
