Error code 2042 and won't start

I guess I would contact your dealer to see what they have to say. How many hours do you have on your 1736?

I did contact the dealer and they will check it out when I take it in to have the tires filled in a week or so. I was hoping to have it all done at the 50 hour service mark, but it looks like I won't have enough hours on it soon enough. I did ask about the fuel gauge possibly being an input to the ECU, but he didn't say yes or no, but kind of inferred that it wasn't. The machine currently has 22 hours on it.

I was using my 1736 today and noticed there were no bars on the fuel gauge. As I returned to the garage to put fuel in her she gained 1 bar as I went up an incline. As I was pouring from a 5-gallon container I noticed only after about 3-4 gallons the side I was filling from was full and almost came out the fill tube, however as I stopped from over filling I could hear it gurgle. I waited about a minute and put the remainder of the 5-gallons into the tank. Started her back up and now the fuel gauge shows all bars indicating it is full. I drove around a little, then stopped on level ground, shut her off to look into the filler tube and the tank is full. Now I wished I had looked in before I started.

Anyone else have this experience other than Lasermule and myself?

I'm thinking the gauge must be defective. All of my bars went away again today right after I filled it. Then they came back.

It sure seems to be the case, in my case I could understand if I took 8-9 gallons to fill that the gauge's lower readings are conservative, but no bars when there was 5-6 gallons remaining is totally off.
