gas tank low sensor

I am leaking gas like a chili bean sampler with a loose sphincter. the fuel light sending unit is leaking right at the wires. i took it off and cleaned it then reinstalled it with some gas resistant gasket sealer. i am pretty sure now that it is leaking through the wires....drip drip drip. now as the gas is draining again i am pretty sure i will have to slab some goo on the wires and keep my eyes open for a replacement.

sorry to have said sphincter and loose in the same post. it is vulgar, i am in a bad mood and have 89 test octane smell in my hair.

It's a common problem & your fix typical. I used Permatex liquid metal. My pigtail had broken off, so I repaired that as well, making it longer so that my hand wouldn't contact it when fiddling w the idle adjust thumbscrew. Also, I replaced the o-ring w one from a HF metric kit.

Edit: z1kzonly ---->>>> Seal-All It is in a yellow tube $2.79. It looks like model glue.
Been around for 30 years. seals gas!

furthermore the metal lamp i was using had a bent part connecting to the light bulb where it screws in. when i hung it on the kickstand and touched the engine while laying on the ground(no centerstand, just had it balanced on cinder blocks)... well i had fun with electricity while working with gas.

Can you post a picture of the leak?

mental picture is as follows: gulf oil spill with electric eels going crazy

The yellow wire (blue arrows) is insulated from the base plate.
The connection is press fit or something. Over time, it becomes loose & leaks.
I'm assuming he has the same fuel level switch.

right out of the red thing.... i installed some jb weld and it seems to be working fine. i tried looking for a new one on ebay and i couldn't figure out what to call it.

The parts diagrams at kawasaki.com usually show both the name and part number.
If needed, there's a link in my sig for help with navigating.

An ebay search using only the part number often produces results.

Good Fortune!

A nos fuel level switch would be good, but they're usually priced kinda high nowadays.
Used will be listed in several ways: fuel sender, fuel sensor, gas sensor, gas gauge, fuel gage, low fuel switch, etc.

Can you post a picture from the top side so I can see how its attached to the plate?
