    :v6:I hooked up a ground wire and it works now, at least it went to full, which I had just fueled it up, now the real test to see if it goes down as I drive it.:v6:

    Carry a gas can and run the tank empty to see how much the gauge is lying. Mine reads beyond full at fill up and is fairly accurate til 1/8 then it quits moving.

    Dr. Vern has some good info on his site: Fuel Gage 101. He's talking about the 2A set up but the basic info may very well help you track down your problem. http://www.vernco.com/sparks/id697.htm

    Have you looked in Krage's (jeepdoc) for a float. If they don't have one listed, either email or call.
