Default temp gauge? fuel gauge

i have a xr3i with a rs turbo engine and box init. iv just finished puting it all in and it runs fine. the thing is noticed that the temp gauge goes strait to the top why is this? is the wireing different and if it is how do i change it about?

and my fuel gauge doesn't seem to work. im not sure how much juice is in it but the neadle doesn't move at all. any help would be great

check the connection of the temp gauge wiring on the sender on the front of the head a bad connection will give u a false reading, if connection is good then theres a fault with actual sender or somewhere in the wiring prob a dodgy earth

fuel gauge could have a dodgy earth too
