how to remove gas tank level switch
Is there an easy way to remove the gas tank level float switch? Do I need a tool to remove the clip that holds it in? Is there anything special I need to do to get it out?
I think I will have to remove the seat to get it out. any suggestions would be helpful. I am going to replace the float portion on it. I think from what I trouble shot on it from your help last time we figured my float was bad. anyway I need to remove it to find out. |

i just moved it around with a hammer and screwdriver, but BE CAREFUL to not spark it.

Re: how to remove gas tank level switch
anytime, but put some electrical tape or something on the tip, just to be safe, so it dont spark, because if it does and the spark hits a pocket of fuel vapor then well poof.

Great idea I will wrap it in electrical tape or look for a brass punch

Re: how to remove gas tank level switch
ive still sparked with brass, it sparks and you could be toast, look at how little a spark a spark plug makes.
