Hello Problem Solvers,
I have a 1978 Catalina 27 with an inoperable fuel gage. (At least I THINK it's inoperable...the tank has fuel in it...sounds full via a tap test) but the gage reads empty. I removed the top of the gage and found a small bulb that rests against what appears to be a plastic membrane. I'm usually pretty good mechanically but I can't figure out how it registers the amount of fuel.
Do I try to get this repaired or do I get a new model? Picture enclosed.
Thanks to any and all for you input.
