David Hedges Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have recently purchased a Vitesse Mk2 and I have a problem with both fuel and temp gauges. With the engine at working temp if you rev the engine for a 20 to 30 seconds both gauges increase then decrease back to normal when the revs drop. I have replaced the voltage stabiliser with a solid state one and the problem remains. If anyone has any ideas to help me out I would love to hear them. Thanks. .

Pete Lewis Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 this is voltage doing its bit, the new stabiliser is not working correctly , or has a wiring defect the gauges are voltage conscious so have a stabilised supply at a steady or pulsed 10.5volts to stop the varied charging voltages upsetting the needle reading which is exactly what you are seeing so can you check this with a simple multimeter my guess the new one is duff pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 When you replaced the stabiliser, did you copy the wiring as was, or did you cross-check against the WSM? You wouldn't be the first person to replace a working part and recreate the fitting error that was actually causing the problem 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
