    Subject: Northstar F210 fuel flow gauge transducer
    Well, it "shot craps" and my fuel flow gauge doesn't work anymore. The rotor froze up and doesn't turn. I don't know why. I didn't see any contamination, The stuck rotor had no effect on fuel flow to the engine. (which is a good thing !) I don't use alcohol auto fuel (yet). Has anyone else had this problem? The unit is a little over 6 months old with about 30 hrs of use. Northstar is sending another transducer. According to the net this failure is not unusual. Dick Maddux Fox 4 Milton,Fl
