So, while looking for parts for Supertramp, someone contacted me with another 400F for sale.

Needless to say, I bought it.

Has anyone seen this fuel gauge on a 400F?? Apparently all original from the factory.

The fuel gauge is definitely aftermarket. I just ended up getting sick of mine. The float sloshes around and bangs against the tank interior - that gets annoying. And it's not very accurate.

I think I'll try to restore it. Even if it doesn't work, it looks cool.  ;D

Looks cool, yes. Annoying sound of the plastic float pinging the inside of your gas tank, priceless. No worries.
