mech fuel guages 170 B
On my 1952 170 B, the left wing root mechanical fuel gauge will move around when filling but generally just read 0. I was told they are hard to come by any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks Mit. I sent you a private concerning instructor in FAI.

That mechanical fuel gage is so incredibly simple, it is worth saving. It sounds to me that it simply needs a new float. Buy whiskey, drink same,save cork, make new float.
