Gloss Black. Todd Paisley – CJML ————————————- GAUGES – CHANGES WHEN CONVERTING TO 12V QUESTION: If I change from 6V to 12V, do I need different gauges? Do I need a different fuel gauge sending unit? ANSWER: The gauges will all work except for the fuel gauge. The sending unit in the tank doesn’t care, but you either need a new 12V fuel gauge or a 12-6 volt converter for the existing gauge. Same here. Mine works fine with 12V just as it did with 6V (i.e., still to damned jumpy and sensitive to vibration). I think it might be more important to change the gauge or adapt it if it has a light in it. In my 2A, that’s not a problem. All I had to do was to replace the one hooded dash light with an equivalent 12V bulb. I changed to twelve volt and never messed with the gauges and it still works fine.
