Floscan problem

[aimless]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've had a 10 gph Floscan for 5 years now and at the end of last year the sender quit. I got a new sender and now it is inconsistent. The gph needle seems ok but the totalizer jumps around. It will get to about 1.8 and jump around between 1 and 2. Then it will jump to around 7 total and stay there for a while. Once it gets past 10 total it seems to settle down and be close to the pump reading when I fill up. I have an F115 Yamaha and 50 gallon tank, so it's not a big problem, just annoying. I thought it might be a bad connection so I checked all the connectors. Any ideas?

Check for an air leak in the fuel line. Everytime I have a inconsistent meter it turns out to be a leak. good luck and let us know if you find something.

Unfortunately , that doesn't sound like a sender,filter/ screen, fuel line air or slope or connector issue if the GPH readout remains steady , but just gauge internal. If the needle dropped back from expected normal GPH for a while occasionally that would understandably cause a lower than actual totalizer, but apparently the needle isn't doing that.

You might try 1st recording all settings on the back and changing them and back to original a few times, ( and even unplugging replugging the gauge main multiplug), but that may be a long shot.

F/S has diagnostic trouble shooting procedures they included with the installation manuals and I believe can also be accessed at F/S online by looking up your particular model, but your best bet may be to contact them and see if they think the gauge is on it's way out or repairable.

I'm guessing the shift register in the logic is being re-stuffed with data from a different form of Data or a different clock time.

You might have to make sure you have the right sender or there may be something you have to change in the logic.
