    Fuel indicator lights RD04 and Ideal jetting

    Hi there. I am just too lazy to read my workshop manual. Is there any one that can shortly tell me how to test the sensors in the tank without exploding it. Both my red and yellow lights switch on with the ignition, so I believe there is no problem there but neither of them light up when I run out of fuel. Straight replacement or wiring?

    Then does any one have suggestions for jet sizes, I am running a Leo Vince slipon. My air cleaner is made up of aftermarket filter foam, so I accept it breaths a little easier than normal.
    Situated at approx. 200m above sea level.

    Test the resistance of each sensor with a multimeter at the connector on the left side of the tank. Do it with a full tank and again with an empty tank. Compare with the readings in your workshop manual.

    Okay I will read the workshop manual, I am not really that lazy. Also reading is a lot less tiring than walking for fuel.
