Subject: Fuel senders may stick due to contact with fuel pickup.

Variations in fuel sender mounting hole location may cause the sender float to contact

the fuel pickup resulting in a sticking sender float. Sender floats that come in contact

with the fuel pickup give inaccurate fuel level readings. For example the sender may

read only the top half of the tank then stick at the halfway point.

It is important to note that not all sticking senders or inaccurate readings are caused by

this issue, proper diagnosis is necessary. Refer to the service manual for further

information about testing the sender, gauge, and electrical connections.

Should a fuel sender stick due to contact with fuel pickup, use Sender Plate (105-7934)

to correct the interference. Sender Plate (105-7934) repositions the float away from the

fuel pickup. Replace the Sender Plate as noted on the installation instructions

accompanying this bulletin. Sender hole pattern is offset so the sender can only be

mounted in one direction.

Should proper testing of the sender and gauge determine float position is causing

improper fuel readings, parts can be supplied at no charge. Some cost may be incurred

for shipping charges. Units within warranty will be covered according to the warranty

agreement for that unit. Contact your local Toro Distributor for assistance.
