Blown Oil Sending Unit?? Help?
« on: August 06, 2013, 10:34:58 AM »
Hey guys i think i have blown the oil sending unit on my 73CB350f.  i noticed she was leaking oil at a stoplight and upon further investigation i found the source of the leak. Let me know what you guys think, and tips or links would be appreciated. i also am unsure of where to buy a new one. Thanks guys! Below is a link to a picture of it, my pc wasn't allowing me to attach.

David Silver spares does them at an extortionate price. Hunt around and you will find some American motors use them. Failing that give member Stuartni a message he has a few.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

Looks like it may have just been the switch, not the actual oil pump, found some for about 30$ on ebay, anybody know how to install one?

 ???  Yes. Unscrew the old one and replace with the new.
