Reserve fuel problem

The tank is the same regardless which Side the steering wheel. So left side for the siphon jet right side electric pump.

In aus you might find the o-ring at a store, in the USA unlikely at it's a metric size. I think somebody measured the size and it's in my repair thread.

Ok, so I finally got the fuel dowm. Below is an image of one side getting down to 0.7L. Note the guage is almost at quarter (20) where the light comes on and the engine dies. The fuel left has dropped below your magic number of 1.5L and I found it started to be erratic. It would drop to 0.4 then back up to 0.8 then even down to 0 then up to 1.4/1.5 then back down. At this point I happened to be near a service station (that’s what we call them in Australia) and so I wasn’t going to risk it and put some fuel in. Looks like I need to get on ebay and get one of those rings..)

cheers
