I narrowed my gas issue down to the gauge. It wasn't connecting well under these posts.

The grounding post went to this pin, that connects to the brown wire and runs to the gas tank behind the seat.

Sadly, to test the connection i ran a direct line from the battery's negative post to the post on the gauge. it worked great, but when I pulled it off I accidentally hit the OTHER post with the grounding wire. That blew the entire thing!

See the copper burned up by that pin? That's the pin that goes to the positive terminal (closest to the speedometer) on the fuel gauge. It also runs the Low Oil and Gen lights. The copper is very thin back there. It cooked straight through.
