Been reading a lot about baffle and float problems.
Replaced the baffle in my 97 GSX (68 hrs) with a new one because I was not getting any reading from the old one. Doing the jumper test brought up all bars, so mechanic said it was the baffle sending unit.
Replaced with new unit. Showed normal in the shop on the trailer. Showed normal when first taken out on water. After turning engine off, removing key, restarting, the Low Fuel warning came on. Rode for a short time and the bars started to creep up to normal level. This has been the case for 3 weeks now. Reads normal in the garage, when first taken out, but erratic after that. One time it did go Low Fuel when riding, but slowly came back up.
Could the new OEM fuel baffle be defective? I assumed the mechanic got the correct one installed.
I have also read about MPEM re-programming. Does this need to be done with the replacement of a baffle (97 GXS)?
Thanks for any direction. Sound like the fuel baffles eventually become a big headache for many.
