[QUOTE="NCScooter, post: 132342, member: 2999"] You can try soaking the rectangular box of the sending unit in white vinegar. Or you can be more aggressive. I gently pried the 3 tabs to separate the halves so I could monitor the progress. There are pictures of this on the innerweb, possibly at NGW.com I soaked it in The Works toilet bowl cleaner for ~ a minute at a time to get the rust out of there. The winding cleaned up nicely. Rinse w/ a baking soda solution to neutralize the acid in the Works. After cleaning, spray w/ contact cleaner and then maybe some wd40. I had it hooked up backwards at first, made the temp gauge work wierd and the fuel gauge not at all. [/QUOTE]
