Hi forum new to the site and needed some help with the diagnosing and the fix for a fuel gauge that's not working on my seadoo. I've read that you can check if the gauge itself is bad by jumping the connector with a wire to see if the needle goes to full but my connector is a three wire and I'm not sure which two to connect. Any help would be great. I think that I understand how to repair the sending unit based on the YouTube video and will try that if the gauge is functioning. I've already checked that the oil warning light works but still no luck on the fuel gauge. I also have no joy with the speedometer but will disconnect at the coupler to see if my meter gets a reading when the wheel is being rotated. Help in that area would be also appreciated. Overall the seadoo is in pretty good shape but these two things are bothering me and I want to repair them myself if I can. Thanks in advance for your help.

This is a common failure with these series boats. A fuse in the sender will open keeping the fuel level from being reported. There's a great write-up in another forum. Not sure about rules regarding links to other forums, so you'll have to search for it.

Basically, you'll have to open your sender, remove the blown fuse, and then short the pads connecting the fuse with solder. It's not difficult, but does reuire some time to complete.

Its better to just buy another sender, if you're not confident in the repair. Greater damage to your engines can occur if an air leak is created in the sender as a result of the repair.
