Re: Skycatcher fuel guage

The C162 is a true paradox. Modern glass and advanced autopilot paired to 50+ year old engine ignition. Having to get used to no cylinder head temp or egt. Usually lean carburetor engines by ear but like the feedback. EGT is available but not installed on my C162.

Skycatcher fuel guage

Just purchased skycatcher with aprox 400 hours. White floating ball on passenger side fuel gage sticks. It will stick anywhere from top to bottom of fuel level. Any other skycatcher pilots have this problem? If so is there a fix short of replacing the gage that you know of?
