Maybe I should have tried adjusting the metal tab on the wound wires of the pc board of the float. my float in the pic triggers the 1 bar flashing pump at nearly the middle of the float travel. which means all the travel to the left is only going to show the same info on the cluster. then I probably wouldn't have had to spread out the stops. I bet now that was the problem all along. The back metal contactor tab was never in the right position. It does have some kind of spring to it maybe for adjustment. I need to check my older post here. I think I have a picture of the back of this float.
