The LH fuel tank gauge needle bobs up and down like crazy. It is an original Scott instrument. I have not drained and pulled it yet. (1946 C-140)

(I saw someone post Steve's Aircraft overhauls these but do not find such data on his site.)

Anyone out their dealt with this phenomena of the bobbing needle already?

Might be easier to just replace it?
