Fuel Gauge Question

Cardiff Kook

PATRON
Sisters, OR
My left fuel gauge does not bounce in flight. My right bounces all over.

Why?

Which one do you like better?

Possible explanations:

1. There is excessive flow restriction in the left sight gauge or its feed tubes
2. There is unsufficient flow restriction in the right sight gauge or its feed tubes

I deleted a couple of options that might have indicated a warped sense of humor.

I’m really curious about the ones you deleted!
 
There's usually a cork gasket in the top and bottom of the factory gauge. They can offer restriction to flow and dampen the bouncing. Bigger hole = more bounce. Unless one of the balls is larger...then all bets are off 8)
