need new M-1008 Voltmeter(28V scale)

[captw]

Hi guys...thanks to all who sent email pics and ideas on what the connections were at the fuel filter base on my M-1008...I've got just about all the electrical gremlins chased down, and one of them happens to be a bad voltmeter...I have voltage at the back of the meter, but no indication on the gauge itself, so I need one...does anybody have one that I could purchase?...I can get an aftermarket one, but I'd prefer an original, if there's one to be had...thanks...Wilf

I think they use the standard 24v m-series gauge. FLMV has them here for $22.50.

Make sure yours is really broken. There are three terminals on the back; the one is obviously ground, but there are two others with the orange wire connected to one and the other just hanging open. There should be a white resistor thing in between. Try connecting 12V or 24V across the unused one and ground. When I did this on mine that I thought was broken, it went off the scale. It turns out that the resistor thing failed to open circuit. If this is the case, you can plug 300-350 ohms across there and it should work about right. Make sure they are healthy resistors, like 1 watt, since there will be some current flowing.
