Hie!
The gasoline gauge on my chippewa green 53' Starlight has started to act weirdly.
When the Stude has been standing still for a while, with the battery main switch disconnected, the gasoline gauge springs to life after the main switch have been connected and the ignition has been turned on.
However, as soon as I turn the ignition OFF, then ON again, the gasoline gauge is "dead"...
If I disconnect the battery for a short while, tha gasoline gauge MAY come to life again, but quite often the car has to stay with the battery diconnected for a while, for the gasoline gauge to come back to life again.
I suspect this is due to a faulty sending unit(worn contact points) in the tank, but thought I could check if anyone else has experiences in this field, before I take out the unit.
