Recently my engine (1993 M25XP) failed to start, and i noticed that the fuel gauge was pegged on full with a half-full tank. Replacing fuel and both fuel filters fixed the problem, though never did figure out the false fuel gauge reading. Recently, while motoring on rough water, I noticed the fuel gauge jumping to the pegged-on-full position for several seconds, then back to normal reading, then back again repeatedly until back in the dock, at which point gauge stayed. Engine ran smoothly the whole time. I suspect this may be a warning I'm about to have a recurrance of the fuel supply problem. But what I can't figure out is: How can an interruption in fuel flow have any effect on the fuel gauge? Anybody know?
