I am rebuilding my 49 3600. My gas gauge is not working. A prior owner converted to 12v and fried the gauge. A friend that works as an engineer at a local radio station said that he would rewind the coils for me, which he did. When I test the gauge on a bench (my washing machine)it seems to work backwards. I have read a number of threads regarding the fuel gauge, one very good one about testing the gauge on the bench. I'm including a link to a picture on Websots. I connected the pos pole of the battery (6v) to the pole on the left side of the gauge, I grounded the right coil of the gauge and body of the sender. The pole of the sender unit was connected to the right pole of the gauge. I should beable to move the float of the sender unit and cause the needle of the gauge to move. It doesn't. The needle remains pinned to the left (hard empty). If I remove the connection between the sender unit pole and the right pole of the gauge the needle will move slightly to the empty position. It should move to full ( I think) Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. The link is http://thumb8.webshots.com/s/thumb4/1/69/28/10
