Hello Everyone, I have a 2003 Chetak 4 stroke and my fuel gauge reads empty all the time. I replaced the level sensor but that didn't fix it. Anybody else have any ideas?

I'd need to look at a wiring diagram to confirm, but most fuel senders I dealt with were a rheostat on the ground leg of the gauge. I'd confirm your getting 12V to the gauge first. If that works, run a ground wire from the gauge to the chassis. If the needle comes up, you need to check the wiring from the gauge back to the sender. If that checks out, make sure the leg from the sender to it's ground point is good.
