Parts arrived at family in Germany and they're flying down over the weekend. 

And now arrived at home, so did it work?

Let's just say these units were not the silver bullets I was hoping for...

At least I fixed the fuel warning light!

I bought this float switch from RS Components and fitted it in place of the thyristor. I did check that the materials are OK to be submerged in petrol. 



Neither open or closed circuit shows a warning, so I had to wire this resister into the circuit to give the correct current. I first had it on the float switch, but while testing it outside, I felt the resister getting hot and I don't like things heating up inside the fuel tank... 



So I just wired it into the connector wiring. I rode to the garage to fill it up and the fuel light works. Almost didn't make it there and back though. The stall issue is damn persistent... 

Btw, at the end of this journey, I'll have so many spares, I could start a bike shop.
