Did you fill right up or just add a quart from a can? The Vespa gauges tend to read empty (against the pin) until there's quite a bit in there. The float may have got slightly stuck at the bottom of its travel - I'd suggest filling right up and taking a good bumpy road for a bit.

Thanks Jimc Yea, before I read your thread, I put more gas in, and it works. I must of only had an 8th of a tank before. Who would of thought More gas in the tank makes the gauge work?

Mine does this too. And when in was new I had it replaced under warranty. I did it again about 2 months later. But it will read empty and go back to working back and forth. I just ignore it now and it will start working again in a few rides.
