Morris Minor Owners Club

I'm replacing the Fuel gauge float unit in my 1956 Mk II as the reading is all to cock a doodle diddley - probably as I had to re-solder the copper coil wire to the connector. I have a salvaged one in good nick. However, my old one is dry inside the coil housing while the one I've just obtained is lightly wet with what appears to be a lube rather than water - any view on wet or dry would help. Many thanks

I can answer my own question - the one that was slightly lubed dried out and works perfectly. Joy of joys! I now know when I'm about to run out of fuel. Mind you every time I have had to stop to fill up from my spare can, someone always comes up and says, "saw you on the bypass today - were you broken down? Was going to stop and help but....."

one of the good things about scooterists and bikers these days is they almost all stop and offer help,even ex riders

I'm sure other moggies would stop too
