my bx 23 fuel guage doesnt work. I believe it is in the sending unit but i cannot locate it.

It's on top of the tank above the left rear whee (opposite side of the fuel filler)l. Unfortunately you'll have to remove the ROPS, some assorted minor parts and the rear fender/floor pan to get to it. It's not major surgery but give yourself the good part of a full day to do it.
A search will turn up several threads of those that have done it.

The BX2200 has a two stage sender. It may be the same with the BX23. If the replacement is done wrong the second stage won't send and the fuel level will read about 3/8th of a tank until it actually reaches 3/8th of a tank and then it will read correctly from there on down. Sometimes if a bump is hit really hard the second stage will engage and the fuel level will read correctly for a while.

The key seems to be to rotate the sending unit just right until the second stage engages - permanently rather than intermittently.

Getting to the sender is a pain. Good luck.
