Sounds like the float/slider are sticking.  If the circuit were broken the
needle would rise at all when turning on the ignition, and if there were a bad
connection it would move but only over a very reduced range at the bottom.

You don't have to drain the tank to deal with the sender, as long as you have
less than 1/4-tank you should be able to remove it without leakage by raising
the right-rear corner.  have a new rubber gasket ring ready, and a new locking
ring if the original looks heavily corroded (under the mud) before you start.
Remember the rubber gasket goes between the sender and the tank.

  After
  starting the car, the needle will rise up to a point between the two
  lowest markings on the gauge and stay there....
