Just acquired a golf star and it has no fuel gauge. How do you know how much fuel you have in the tanks? Heard they're supposed to be a measuring stick but can't find it and don't know where to look. Thanks in advance!
 
Look on the side of your fuel tanks where you will probably see a plastic tube running up the side of the tank where you can easily see the fuel level inside the tank. Each tank will have it's own.

If you don't have them, then you better find that stick.

You actually don't need to find the stick! Sticks are not uncommon on land.... :)
 
As a temporary measure. If you have to use a stick before you use it wipe it dry with a tissue, then with a piece of chalk rub the side of the stick, when you dip the tank it will show the level clearly.
Get a correct sized hole cut in the top of your tank, drill and tap the correct size screw holes and fit a gauge and wire it up to your control panel.
