Gas light help

[DCphazer]

I have a 08 MTX and when I started it up for the first time this winter the gas level bars are flashing along with the yellow warning and gas pump icon. It was full of gas so thats not the problem and it runs fine.... Any ideas on what the problem could be ????

Make sure the lead is plugged in from the tank float. If it's plugged in disconnect and clean contacts. When they are unplugged the bars flash.

I took it off today and clean it up, although it looked like new..... Still doing it..

Next thing I would check, is the pickup in the gas tank.

Start by draining the tank and looking in as best you can with a flashlight.

I've seen the pickup bar with the brushes, get pried off the resister part of the pickup by some unfortunate interaction with a gas fill nozzle.

If you find the pickup bar rattling around the inside of the empty tank... you'll need to pull the tank.
