Gas gauge on hewescraft boat stopped working. I determined it was bad float in tank. I replaced with new float I had in garage. It appeared to work until I bolted everything down. Now the gauge is dead. If “F” is at 2 o’clock position and “E” is at 10 o’clock position, the needle is hanging at 6 0’clock position is Dead ! Did I fry the gauge ?? Anything will help
ANSWER : Not likely – it’s probable that when you bolted in the float got stuck. Take everything apart and test it again – if the needle still stays there then yes, the gauge spring failed and the unit is dead. Before you replace it check the wiring for shorts, otherwise the new gauge will be fried instantly.

ANSWER : You may have to a little Google search, but at one time Winchester had a site where you could check the manufacture dates. If that fails, take it to a reputable gun dealer or gunsmith. I suspect the gunsmith may be the better of the two.

I have a Winchester Model 190 with serial number B1302781. This model and serial nubmer does not show up on the Windhester site. Can you tell me when this rifle was manufactured?
ANSWER : The model 290 came out first, in 1965. The 190 came out in 1967. The 290 was made until 1973 and production of the 190 ended in 1980. There were approx. 2,150,000 model 190/290 made through the years.Since yours was made before the middle of the production run, and before 1973, I would guess late 60’s to around 1970 or 1971.

Hope this helps.
