Gas tank gauge not workin properly

[Tubs26]

So I finally got the bike put back together and rode it around for a little. Got some gas and thought the gauge would move, but it didn't. I looked to see if I had the wires in the right connectors and they were, but I switched them anyways and then the gas gauge went up to the full mark and stayed there, I looked at the float in the tank and it was half way (half tank) and before I got gas when the tank was empty I stook a screwdriver In and moved the float up and down and the gauge didn't move, but when I switched the connectors (opposite) same thing, says the tanks full when there's no gas in it.


Also is there anyway to tell how much life brake/headlights have left? This bike has sat for awhile and I would hate to have either go out. I think the answers no and maybe I'll just buy new lights all around anyways just to be safe. Just curious

Sounds like the sensor is bad.

As for the lights, the answer is no. They don't wear out, the burn out, replace them when they fail..
