nope?on sender theres 1 connecton that goes straight to the guage?or do i need to do something else?

you need to earth the sender to the chassis


on the fuel tank where the sender unit is fastened by the set screws you need to attatch the earth wire to 1 of the screws and the other end to the chassis
