I have a D-10 with the Skyview on a Rocket IO-540. I fill my tanks, and I run my engine, and I can go to the page to see the fuel burn, but the circular gauge has no color display- no green, yellow, or red- no color showing fuel levels- any thoughts?

The fuel burn rate is a fuel computer which is different than the quantity system. Have you calibrated the system yet? Was it working before? If so, you may want to consider restoring your backup settings.

Can you tell me how I restore the backup settings? Will I have to empty the tanks to do so? I just filled them up, and was hoping I wouldn't have to drain them-

Backup settings only apply if everything was once working and now it isn't, and then it only applies if somehow you have deleted or messed up a previous calibration, which isn't likely. So I don't think that's going to help in this case.

First, though, have you gone through the fuel quantity calibration process for each tank?

Also, what does the number in the middle of the fuel quantity arcs say?

I appreciate that you are here at night helping.
I found out my tanks weren't yet calibrated, so I will need to do this. Is there any way I can do this will full tanks?

No. the procedure requires an empty-full fill in incremental steps to demonstrate the various sensor positions to the system.
