Just finished rewinding and testing the fuel sending unit on my KZ. 
Used 36g Kanthal. 
I still have to clean it to get the full to work properly. 
but! It shows 3/4 for a full tank, and empty a little early. 
Current project:
'84 KZ700

I've done a bit of fiddling with fuel senders.
What resistance range are your windings showing?
My J fuel senders range is 0 amps for full and 100 amps for empty. 

Z1000J2 somewhat modified!

Not the Amps value Warren, the Ohm reading is the real value for the fuel sending unit, and without any Voltage supply connected.....

It's OHMs. If AMPS it would become a heater. I had to repair this one.
