7 volt regulator going out, maybe. I think there is a test in the Quick Reference thread to check these. I know there is a thread there to build a new one. Trip to Radio Shack and $4 is all you need. And a soldering iron.



I don't want to single you out, but some punctuation and capitalization sure makes posts easier to decipher. Damn texting is responsible for a lot of this.

Is the wire attached to the temp gauge making a solid connection. If the connection is loose, you might get the symptoms you describe. You may have to drop back the gas tank to get good access to the gauge (there's a metal cover over the gauge the wire does through a whole in that cover).
