59 Gas Gauge
Hi Richard,
It could be a clogged fuel filter at the gas tank. Or at the fuel pump. Or a line in between the tank and the fuel pump. Or from the fuel pump to the carb. It would not hurt to either blow those lines out, or replace them. It could also be that it might be a simple adjustment at the carb. Lets see if the guys have other suggestions. Glad you found a fuel sending unit. I hope it is a new one. Otherwise, you don't know what you are getting. But even if it is not a new one, you should be able to hook a meter to it and check out its swing back and forth from the empty to full position. If you have any drop off of the reading as your go through the arc you will know you have a unit with a faulty rheostat... That was what was wrong with mine. I had several spots in that swing across the rheostat where it would suddenly drop to a zero or empty reading..
