Guys, I'm about to rip my hair out on this machine. I've managed to save it from being hauled to the scrap yard once, but it's time is absolutely running out.
I had to take everything apart to put a new thermostat in. When I put in my new crappy gauge from India in, it leaked where the sender goes into the housing. I tried a brand new gauge and it leaked as well. There is just not a way for the nut to get tight enough to not make the sending unit snug and water runs out around the shaft. What in the hell is the trick here? I honestly didn't think this was rocket science but there is no compression fittings of any sort or o-rings or anything that will allow either sending unit to seal up. Once it is tight, you can still wiggle the sending unit shaft without any trouble.
Like I said, the owner is tired of fooling with it, I'm tired of fooling with it, esepcially mickey mouse issues that shouold just work.
