    LCD Display works (verified upon start up) but then shows I am out of fuel right away. Is there a sensor for the fuel that I can clean, oe maybe some bad wiring. Has anyone else had this problem?

    In the as tank tunnel there are two wires that run to your fuel level sendin unit. There is a reen wire that oes to a sensor in the tank and a black wire that rounds to the unit itself. they run back to a connector under the seat. Start in those 2 locations and see if they are connected.

    The PO of mine had cut the wires on mine for some reason, I just need to hook them back up and ot my fuel guage workin again.

    Sounds like the fuel sender is either bad or unplugged. If the sender is bad you can jump the connector and the gauge will show full and keep the warning light from blinking at you.
