fuel tank butchered

[hayisforhorses]

the selector valve is butchered on old yeller and everything is disconected to the rear tank. The front sender unit caught fire from a bare wire which we quickly put out and replaced wire. Double checked fuse and it was ok. now I have the front tank showing 1/2 full when it is full. The fuel sender was out and everything looked ok including the fuel pick up tube. The rear tank that is not plumbed up has a 1/2 tank in it. I an thibking the selector valve quit switching to show the different levels in both tanks as it used to before my spot fire. Question is what wires going to the selector valve can I connect to my new wires on the sender unit to get 1 tank working?

You could pull the plug off of the rear sending unit and connect it to the front one. Thats what I did anyway when the valve froze up on me in the middle of a trip out of state.

There are 5 wires on the selector valve. Pins 1 and 2 are polarity controlled voltage to the motor. Pins 3,4 and 5 are the SPDT switch for the fuel tank. Manually jumping pins 3 and 4 should yeild one of the two tanks fuel level on the gauge. Refer to the schematics in the Moosestang album for details.
