My hobbs just turned 1000 hours last week and my Vans oil temp is failing. Easy fix, I'll just get a new one.
The one that really perplexing is my Vans fuel gauges. This last year the gauges started to intermintentley not work. Some times they would both would work. Some times one only would work and some times both would not work. I cleaned all my major engine and battery grounds and my engine starts easier and the gauges worked fine (battery is grounded to a longeron way in back because heavy engine). I had a hot start that took several tries the other day which sometimes happens on a hot day. When the engine started both fuel gauges were not working. I have started the engine several times since then without running the battery down and the fuel gauges work fine. Do you think I need new fuel gauges or could it be another problem?
Thank you for your help. Steve
