Gas cap float

Or, local dealer. They still have them. Bring manufacturers # to make sure you get the correct one. Apparently there were slight differences between them.

I got one from Jack's a few years ago. Previously I had ordered one off of Ebay that was listed for a 2010 Landlord, but was way too short.

The one from Jacks is an exact replacement of my original.

I'm trying to help it last longer by putting a plastic cap from an aerosol can over the gauge when it is being used outside to keep the sun off of it.

If you measure exactly, you shouldn't have a problem with Ebay or Jacks. You just have to be wary of the "Fits All" type ads ;)

I just bought two on ebay for about $18 each, after shipping. they will fit the 3000 and 7000 series. Fortunately, they were in their original packaging: Sten Part # 125-153. Replaces Simplicity 2171252, with or without the SM.

I recommend taking a googol on Sten parts. I did this last year when the plastic idler pully on the Sovereign's drive train melted. I noticed the Sten logo in the background of the overpriced idler pulleys on Ebay.

So I googoled for Sten idler pulleys, and bought several steel ones on the basis of size. Paid about $15, instead of the $37-40 asked for elsewhere.

It didn't dawn on me to try it on the fuel gage.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
