60 gages

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I think its either a poor ground or the gauge with the voltage limiter is going bad. Mine does this occasionally & if I wiggle the chrome trim bezel around the gauge cluster, it usually returns to normal.

Subject: IML: 60 gages

I am having a rather strange problem with the gages on my 60 Custom.

 It seems that the gas and temperature gages have developed a mind of their own .

The temp gage will fluctuate between what looks to be a normal temp reading, to 3/4 hot . Then it will swing back to what I consider a normal reading.

 The gas gage that worked last fall has now stopped working. It will  sit at 1/8 full no matter the amount in the tank. The weird thing is that every so often the indicator will swing over to 1/2 a tank ,while the temp gage will simultaneously move toward cold . Would anyone know what is causing these  gages to act this way?
